Differentiated Fibroblastic Progenies of Human Embryonic Stem Cells for Toxicology Screening
3 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Immortalized cell lines and live animal models are commonly used for cytotoxicity screening of biomedical devices and materials. However, these assays poorly reflect human physiology and have numerous other disadvantages. An alternative may be to utilize differentiated fibroblastic progenies of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) for in vitro toxicology screening. These were generated through random spontaneous...
