Talk:Embryonic stem cell/Archive 1

Requested move
Embryonic stem cells → Embryonic stem cell … Rationale: According to Naming_conventions. SOME_article_titles_should_be_plural raises some valid points, but in that case Cell (biology) and so on should be plural too... Furthermore, all other stem cell articles are singular. Currently Embryonic stem cell is an inappropriate redirect to Stem cell … Please share your opinion at Talk:Embryonic stem cells. Peter Znamenskiy 18:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

ES cells are pluripotent, not totipotent
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent, not totipotent. Totipotency implies an ability to contribute to all extraembryonic (placental) tissues, in addition to all three embryonic germ layers. ES cells can only contribute to the three germ layers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mellogirl (talk • contribs) 03:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC).
