Embryonic Stem Cells: Where do they come from and what can …

Researchers are learning how to create many different specialised cell types found in the body by exposing ESCs to different signalling molecules and growth conditions.

Mouse ESCs are being used to learn about how the body develops, from early embryonic stages to the formation of complex organs.

Researchers are learning how cells assemble into complex tissues, such as the layers of the brain, by attempting to grow primitive organs in the lab.

Many studies are looking into how ESCs might be able to be used to treat numerous different diseases, from multiple sclerosis to blindness and diabetes.
