Totipotent is a term used to describe a cell's ability to differentiate into any cell type. Some synonyms for totipotent include pluripotent, omnipotent, and all-powerful. Pluripotent cells are similar to totipotent cells, but they differentiate into most but not all cell types. Omnipotent refers to the same concept as totipotent but with the additional meaning of being all-knowing. All-powerful also carries the same meaning but implies more control over the development process. These synonyms are useful for scientists and researchers who work with stem cells and strive to understand the intricacies of cell differentiation and development.
