Embryonic stem cells definition

Embryonic stem cells means cells created through the joining of a human egg and sperm or through nuclear transfer that are sufficiently undifferentiated such that they cannot be identified as components of any specialized cell type.
Embryonic stem cells means pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst that have the potential to become a wide variety of specialized cell types.

Examples of Embryonic stem cells in a sentence

  • Embryonic stem cells differentiate into oligodendrocytes and myelinate in culture and after spinal cord transplantation.

  • Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were first derived from the inner cell mass of mouse blastocysts and represent a unique cell population that can differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm), rendering them an invaluable cell source for studying the molecular mechanisms of embryonic morphogenesis [17,18].
