How is a stem cell different from a "normal" cell? (Use a liver cell as an example.)

A "normal" cell has differentiated and is expressing specific genes related to a particular cell type and has turned off genes unrelated to its function. Stem cells have yet to differentiate and have the potential to express any genes they have, depending on the environment they are in.
