What Are the Limitations of Multipotent Stem Cells?

While multipotent stem cells offer significant potential, they also come with limitations. One major limitation is their restricted differentiation potential. Unlike pluripotent stem cells, which can become any cell type, multipotent stem cells are limited to specific lineages. This restriction can limit their applicability in certain therapeutic contexts. Additionally, isolating and expanding these cells in sufficient quantities for therapeutic use can be challenging.
