Understanding Differentiation In Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Date: 27.10.2007
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute have described how an existing genetic tool can be used to study how **human embryonic stem cells** differentiate.
Researchers know very little about how human embryonic stem cells (hESC) self-renew. To fully understand these cells' self renewal capacity and pluripotency, and their regulation, it is necessary to efficiently generate **genetically modified cells** and analyze the consequences of elevated and reduced expression of **genes**.
