Stem cells can be: (i) totipotent, such as the ones of the zygote, which can give rise to any cell in an organism and to extraembryonic structures; (ii) pluripotent, such as embryonic cells that can differentiate into any cell in the germ layers; (iii) multipotent if they can differentiate into different cell types within specific lineages, such as hematopoietic stem cells; (iv) oligopotent, with the capacity to differentiate into only some cell types; and (v) unipotent, which gives rise to a specific cell type. In adults, there are multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent stem cells, being distributed throughout the organism. Their functions involve maintaining tissue homeostasis and regenerationenAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Germ LayersConservation of Natural ResourcesRegenerationAdultHumansZygoteHematopoietic Stem Cellsresearch article36143106open accessRegeneraciónCigotoCélulas madre hematopoyéticasHumanos10.3390/jcm11185460PMC9503376https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/18/5460/pdf?version=1663640066https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9503376/pdf
