Derivation of human embryonic stem cell lines from embryos obtained after IVF and after PGD for monogenic disorders
10 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are pluripotent cells usually derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocysts. Because of their ability to differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers, hES cells represent an important material for studying developmental biology and cell replacement therapy. hES cell lines derived from blastocysts diagnosed as carrying a genetic disorder after PGD...
