Abstract excerpt
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent, self-renewing cells that are isolated during the blastocyst stage of embryonic development. Whether these cells are derived from humans, mice or other organisms, all ESCs must employ mechanisms that prevent the propagation of mutations, generated as a consequence of DNA damage, to somatic cells produced by normal programmed differentiation. Thus, the prevention of...
