Stem Cell Culture Stem cells are the roots from which different cell lineages arise, and they exist in multiple forms. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into every cell type in the body. Adult stem cells are more restricted; they can differentiate only...
Discuss the differences between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells: a) Where do they come from? b) What are the differences in how they can be used? c) Which has more moral controversy surrounding it, and why? Compare and or contrast the following items: plesiomorp...

iPSCs are like embryonic stem cells without the embryo. Researchers create them from more differentiated cells by the introduction of a handful of transcription factors (most commonly Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc, or OKSM), and with them study the origins of genetic disease, run drug ...
No study has yet evaluated amniotic epithelial stem cells (AECs) in OA. They could be considered a valid alternative to adipose derived cells, expanded or concentrated, because they differentiate into three lineages and express mesenchymal and embryonic markers, without a tumorigenic phenotype. The ...
The key difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is that adult stem cells are multipotent while embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. Stem cells a
and degree of connectivity, paralleling human embryonic brain development. Therefore, neural organoids are promising model systems for brain development, as well as disease research and regenerative medicine. As we learn how to study them more effectively, neural organoids can help deepen our und...
” explains James M. Clinton, senior scientist at ATCC. Li refers to the organoids as “nearly native and functional mini organs in a dish.” Organoids are derived from either embryonic or adult stem cells, which are capable of differentiation into multiple cell types depending on the culture...
