Abstract
Two recent studies from the Silva and Hanna groups optimized chemical induction and culture conditions to derive extraembryonic lineages directly from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) without transgenes, enabling mouse stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) to reproducibly advance to the E8.5–E8.75 stage.
期刊介绍:
Cell Stem Cell is a comprehensive journal covering the entire spectrum of stem cell biology. It encompasses various topics, including embryonic stem cells, pluripotency, germline stem cells, tissue-specific stem cells, differentiation, epigenetics, genomics, cancer stem cells, stem cell niches, disease models, nuclear transfer technology, bioengineering, drug discovery, in vivo imaging, therapeutic applications, regenerative medicine, clinical insights, research policies, ethical considerations, and technical innovations. The journal welcomes studies from any model system providing insights into stem cell biology, with a focus on human stem cells. It publishes research reports of significant importance, along with review and analysis articles covering diverse aspects of stem cell research.
