Abstract excerpt
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are capable of unlimited self-renewal and retain the pluripotency to differentiate into all cell lineages in the body. Since DNA damage occurs during normal cellular proliferation as well as after exposure to DNA damaging agents, it is critical for ESCs to possess stringent mechanisms to maintain genetic stability and prevent the passage of DNA damage to the progeny. Consistent with...
