These modified cuts tend to have a crushed ice or needle like facet pattern, more similar to a radiant cut than a traditional cushion cut. The chart below serves as a general guideline for evaluating the cut of a cushion cut diamond.
Broadly speaking, two types of stem cell can be distinguished: embryonic stem (ES) cells which can only be derived from preâimplantation embryos and have a proven ability to form cells of all tissues of the adult organism (termed âpluripotentâ), and âadultâ stem cells, which are found in a variety of tissues in the fetus and after birth and are, under normal conditions, more specialized (âmultipotentâ) with an important function in tissue replacement and repair.
Totipotent cells can form all the cell types in a body, plus the extraembryonic, or placental, cells. Embryonic cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization are the only cells that are totipotent.Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent.Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.mbryonic cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization are the only cells that are totipotent.
