  2. Embryonic stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryonic_stem_cell

    Embryonic stem cells is one of the sources that are being considered for the use of tissue engineering. [19] The use of human embryonic stem cells have opened many new possibilities for tissue engineering, however, there are many hurdles that must be made before human embryonic stem cell can even be utilized.

  3. Polly and Molly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_and_Molly

    Embryonic stem cells provide a means to transfer new DNA into the germline. They also allow precise genetic modifications by gene targeting. Modified embryonic stem cells can be selected in vitro before the experiment moves on further for the production of an animal. Embryonic stem cells capable of contributing to the germline of livestock ...

  4. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    As the syncytiotrophoblast starts to penetrate the uterine wall, the inner cell mass (embryoblast) also develops. The inner cell mass is the source of embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent and can develop into any one of the three germ layer cells, and which have the potency to give rise to all the tissues and organs.

  5. Embryoid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryoid_body

    Embryoid bodies (EBs) are three-dimensional aggregates formed by pluripotent stem cells. These include embryonic stem cells (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) EBs are differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into embryoid bodies comprising the three embryonic germ layers. They mimic the characteristics seen in early-stage embryos.

  6. Embryomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryomics

    The cells of the inner cell mass (embryoblast), which are known as human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), will further differentiate to form four structures: the amnion, the yolk sac, the allantois, and the embryo itself. Human embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, that is, they can differentiate into any of the cell types present in the adult ...

  7. Stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

    By using human embryonic stem cells to produce specialized cells like nerve cells or heart cells in the lab, scientists can gain access to adult human cells without taking tissue from patients. They can then study these specialized adult cells in detail to try to discern complications of diseases, or to study cell reactions to proposed new drugs.

  8. James Thomson (cell biologist) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Thomson_(cell_biologist)

    In 1998, Thomson's Lab was the first to report the successful isolation of human embryonic stem cells. On November 6, 1998, Science published this research in an article titled "Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts", results which Science later featured in its “Scientific Breakthrough of the Year” article, 1999. [3]

  9. Knockout mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockout_mouse

    The embryonic stem cells that incorporated the knocked-out gene are isolated from the unaltered cells using the marker gene from step 1. For example, the unaltered cells can be killed using a toxic agent to which the altered cells are resistant. The knocked-out embryonic stem cells from step 4 are inserted into a mouse blastocyst. For this ...
