1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Pluripotent cells can be isolated from the mammalian inner cell mass (ICM) of the embryo at the blastocyst stage, and maintained in culture as undifferentiated, embryonic stem cells (ES). These cells are an important model of mammalian development in vitro and are the focus of a great deal of research for their use in Cell Therapy. In vivo, shortly after the blastocyst stage, the ICM segregates into two layers:...
