What function do embryonic stem cells serve?

In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. read more

They are the cells that multiply and differentiate into the entire human body. Everything you are came from them. These are embryonic stem cells. This is what you used to look like. read more

Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos at a developmental stage before the time that implantation would normally occur in the uterus. read more

Stem cells are the only totipotent cells in humans. The fertilization of an egg gives rise to a stem cell that is undifferentiated and can form any part of the human body. This cell divides and creates more totipotent stem cells for the first four days of embryonic development. read more

They are the cells that multiply and differentiate into the entire human body. Everything you are came from them. These are embryonic stem cells. This is what you used to look like. Every cell of your body came ultimately from these. read more

The functions and characteristics of these cells will be explained in this document. Scientists discovered ways to derive embryonic stem cells from early mouse embryos more than 30 years ago, in 1981. The detailed study of the biology of mouse stem cells led to the discovery, in 1998, of a method to derive stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in the laboratory. These cells are called human embryonic stem cells. read more
