Genome editing is a method for making specific changes to the DNA of a cell or organism. It can be used to add, remove or alter DNA in the genome. Human genome editing technologies can be used on somatic cells (non-heritable), germline cells (not for reproduction) and germline cells (for reproduction). Application of somatic human genome editing has already been undertaken, including in vivo editing, to address HIV and sickle-cell disease, for example

The ectoderm derivatives include external ectoderm, neural crest, and neural tube. These structures give rise to cells of the epidermis, external sense organs, and the peripheral and central nervous system (Gilbert, 2006). Generating functional neurons from hESC with the aim of treating neurodegenerative diseases is the subject of intensive investigation. Shortly after derivation of the first hESC lines, Reubinoff et al
