The type of stem cell that is able to differentiate into any cell type, including extraembryonic placental cells, is totipotent cells. Totipotent cells are the earliest cells formed after fertilization and have the potential to develop into a complete organism, including both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. In contrast, pluripotent cells can differentiate into almost all cell types but cannot form an entire organism or the extraembryonic tissues.
which type of stem cell is able to differentiate into any cell type, including extraembryonic placental cells?
