Multipotential stem cells have already differentiated into a lineage of endoderm, mesoderm or ectoderm but still have the ability to turn into different types of tissue within that lineage. Multipotent stem cells send signals to the differentiated stem cells and stimulate them to produce new tissue. A small percentage of multipotent stem cells eventually transform into the tissue where signaling has occurred.
