Controlling embryonic stem cell proliferation and pluripotency: the role of PI3K- and GSK-3-dependent signalling
22 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
ESCs (embryonic stem cells) are derived from the inner cell mass of pre-implantation embryos and are pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into all of the cells that make up the adult organism. This property of pluripotency makes ESCs attractive as a model system for studying early development and for the generation of specific cell types for use in regenerative medicine and drug screening. In order to...
