Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) are capable to give rise to all cell types in the human body during the normal course of development. Therefore, these cells hold a great promise in regenerative cell replacement based therapeutical approaches. However, some controversy exists in literature concerning the ultimate fate of hESC after exposure to genotoxic agents, in particular, regarding the effect of DNA damaging...
