    Study Notes

    Cell Types and Development

    • There are many cell types, including embryonic cells
    • Embryonic cells can give rise to multiple cell types
    • Fibroblast cells are one type of cell that can be used in induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC) technology
    • Plasma is also involved in this process
    • IPSCs are a type of stem cell that can be generated from adult cells, such as fibroblasts
