a term pertaining to the developmental capacity of cells from the inner cell mass of blastocysts in the developing embryo that can generate all cell types but cannot produce cells of the extra-embryonic trophoblast lineage. Cells with this capacity are known as pluripotent cells. They have a slightly diminished differentiation potential when compared to totipotent cells (see also: stem cells, cell lineage) For a process of converting cell types into other cell types with features of pluripotency see also: reprogramming.
