The past few years have seen remarkable progress in our understanding of embryonic stem
cell (ES cell) biology. The necessity of examining human ES cells in culture, coupled with …

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are derived from inner cell mass (ICM). The self‐renewal
and pluripotency are the main specificities of ES cells, which are likely to reveal a deeper …

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells have the ability to self-renew while maintaining their
pluripotency. The ability of stem cells to self-renew expansively is essential in both …

To what extent are the pathways that regulate self-renewal conserved between stem cells at
different stages of development and in different tissues? Some pathways play a strikingly …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells with indefinite replication potential and ability
to differentiate into all types of cells. An understanding of the regulatory mechanisms …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be maintained in culture indefinitely while retaining the
capacity to generate any type of cell in the body, and therefore not only hold great promise …

Stem and progenitor cells are populations of cells that retain the capacity to populate
specific lineages and to transit this capacity through cell division. However, attempts to …

Competency for self‐renewal of human embryonic stem (ES) cells is linked to pluripotency.
However, there is a critical paucity of fundamental parameters of human ES cell division. In …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are typically derived from the inner cell mass of the
preimplantation blastocyst and can both self-renew and differentiate into all the cells and …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells can replicate indefinitely while retaining the capacity to
differentiate into functionally distinct cell types. ES cells proliferate and differentiate without …
