There are hosts, like satirist Ziwe and the multipotent Keke Palmer, who can do their jobs not in spite of, but because of the cultural moment.

On its Web site, the Utah Cord Bank touts its products as containing “young multipotent cells” that can turn into many kinds of tissue.

Sox9+ ductal cells are multipotent progenitors throughout development but do not produce new endocrine cells in the normal or injured adult pancreas.

Progressive alterations in multipotent hematopoietic progenitors underlie lymphoid cell loss in aging.

These special stem cells come in two varieties: pluripotent cells, which can give rise to all tissue products, and multipotent tissue-specific cells, which can give rise only to certain kinds of tissue.
