What’s on the Stem Cells poster
A 5-row table: Type · Can become.
From most to least versatile.
- Totipotent — Any cell, including placenta
- Pluripotent — Any body cell, not placenta
- Multipotent — A limited range within a lineage
- Unipotent — One cell type only
- iPSC — Adult cells reprogrammed to pluripotent
Induced pluripotent stem cells sidestep the embryo debate by reprogramming adult cells, and won the 2012 Nobel Prize.

- Who is the Stem Cells poster for?
- Stem Cells belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning cell biology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Stem Cells poster?
- Potency is the range of cell types a stem cell can produce. It narrows with development. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Stem Cells belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Stem Cells?
- Cell Cycle Control, Differentiation and The Cell Membrane sit alongside Stem Cells in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Cell Cycle ControlDifferentiationThe Cell Membrane
- Is the Stem Cells poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Stem Cells downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Stem Cells poster print at?
- Stem Cells is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Stem Cells loses nothing.Printing guide
