Pluripotency and Totipoteny has similar meaning if not the same, i.e.
differentiation potential of all lineages but not SC of all different cell
types. But some ppl prefer to use Totipotency for ESC.
As I mentioned before, some of the adult stem cells are NOT true stem cells,
coz they only have limited self-renewal ability and differentiation potential.
So it's probably more approtiate to call them progenitor cells. Most time the
Sci would like to blow they find xxx type of stem cells, however,
