^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0037224


A cell line cell that is cultured in vitro and possesses two capabilities: (1) it can self-renew, which means that it can divide indefinitely while remaining in an undifferentiated state; and (2) it is pluripotent or multipotent, which means that it can differentiate to form a specialized cell type.
