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
