Inner cell mass (~30 cells) of the blastocyst (~150 cells) First 3-4 days after fertilization Pluripotent - Can form all tissue types & organs Adult stem cells Small populations retained in various tissues & organs Unipotent – can form only 1 cell type Multipotent – can form into a limited # of differentiated cell types Induced pluripotent stem cells Retrieved from adult differentiated cells Genetically reprogrammed to mimic embryonic stem cells
