- From pluri- + potent. (Wiktionary)

“Smithies and his co-authors concluded that "This modification of a chosen gene in pluripotent ES cells demonstrates the feasibility of this route to manipulate mammalian genomes in predetermined ways" [35].”
The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Advanced Information
“But those researchers would like to get to the blastocyst stage, because that would allow them to make what are known as pluripotent stem cells, which are cells that can go on to turn into a wide variety of other cell types.”
“Therefore, these cells are referred to as pluripotent, that is, they can give rise to many types of cells but not a whole organism.”
“Because they have lost their toti-virility & are described as pluripotent (iPS) or "potent for a lot".”
“SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: If you take an embryonic stem cell, it is a-- what's called a pluripotent cell, a cell that can grow into just about anything.”
