genetic material. This minimises the risk that one’s body will reject the stem cells when they are implanted (Watson‚ 2012). Uses of ESCs ESCs provided a simple model system to study the basic processes of early embryonic development and cellular differentiation. This improves our understanding about the development of fertilised egg and provides insight on how adult tissues are maintained and repaired (Cattaneo‚ 2012). Not only that‚ since they are derived from human blastocysts‚ they can also be used

Abstract By understanding how components within certain cells confer their ability to regenerate or antagonize cellular differentiation into specific cell types‚ we can change these components to make our cells have regenerative properties. To understand this‚ we examine cells of the germline‚ called germ cells. These "parent" cells of sperm and egg cells have the ability to become any cell type of each subsequent generation‚ and are thereby totipotent. This totipotency essentially makes germ cells

Stem cells are an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type‚ and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. The body is not able to produce new neurons to repair spinal cords injuries‚ such as those that cause paralysis. Because of this‚ there is no way for doctors to restore movement to paralyzed people. Stem cells may be the perfect solution to that problem. Researchers have found that implants
