Derivation of Adipocytes from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
1 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are undifferentiated and pluripotent cells that hold great therapeutic potential, but are hampered by our limited knowledge to promote specific cell differentiation. Here we provide the first report of the directed differentiation of hES cells into adipocytes. Embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from hES cells are shown to respond to factors that promote adipogenesis. Differentiated...
