What are the examples of cell differentiation?

Posted December 15, 2023


Answer

One example includes ectoderm cells differentiating into skin cells, epithelial cells, and neurons. Another example is mesoderm cells differentiating into muscle cells, blood cells, and bone cells. A third example is cells in the endoderm differentiation into cells of the digestive tract, urinary, and respiratory system. There are over 200 types of cells in the body, and differentiation can be broken down into more specific terms. One example is red blood cell differentiation, which is derived from pluripotent stem cells.
