Pluripotent stem cells are often termed true stem cells because they have the potential to differentiate into almost any cell in the body. Pluripotent, embryonic stem cells originate as inner mass cells within a blastocyst. These stem cells can become any tissue in the body, excluding a placenta. They have the potential to develop into any type of human cell.
