Bookmark or Share- Embryonic stem cell - WikipediaEmbryonic stem cells (ESCs), derived from the blastocyst stage of early mammalian embryos, are distinguished by their ability to differentiate into any embryonic cell type and by their ability to self-renew. It is these traits that makes them valuable in the scientific and medical fields.
- How human embryonic stem cells sparked a revolution - NatureEmbryonic stem (ES) cells provide unparallelled information on early development. Like astronomers looking back to the Big Bang for fundamental insight about the Universe, biologists rake...
- Stem cells: What they are and what they do - Mayo ClinicEmbryonic stem cells. These stem cells come from embryos that are 3 to 5 days old. At this stage, an embryo is called a blastocyst and has about 150 cells. These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or can become any type of cell in the body.
- Embryonic Stem Cells: Where do they come from and what can they do?It is known as a blastocyst and has two parts: An outer layer of cells, or trophectoderm, will form the placenta that supports the embryo as it grows inside the uterus. An inner clump of cells, called the inner cell mass, is a ball of 10–20 cells. These cells are undifferentiated, or unspecialized.
- Embryonic Stem Cells - Stem Cells and the Future of Regenerative ...Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4 th to 7 th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic development, they disappear after the 7 th day, and begin to form the three embryonic tissue layers.
