Genetic regulation of stem cell pluripotency (continued)

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have a so-called minimal phenotype and a minimum of receptors and programs for interacting with the microenvironment.

Genetic regulation of stem cell pluripotency

Stem cells would not be interesting for developmental biology and clinical medicine if they did not have pluripotency and would not be able to start development again.

Genes that make stem cells

The identification of genes that determine the properties of stem cells will not only accurately identify these types of cells, but also open up new opportunities to control them during cultivation and therapeutic use.

To what extent do the characteristics of stem cells determine their therapeutic capabilities

The considerable interest that currently exists in stem cells is primarily due to the prospects for their biomedical application.
