Bookmark or Share- Embryonic stem cell - WikipediaEmbryonic stem cells (ESCs), derived from the blastocyst stage of early mammalian embryos, are distinguished by their ability to differentiate into any embryonic cell type and by their ability to self-renew. It is these traits that makes them valuable in the scientific and medical fields.

- Human embryonic stem cells: Derivation, culture, and differentiation: A ...Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are pluripotent cells which give rise to all somatic cell types in the embryo. ESC can be a valuable tool for understanding the complex mechanisms involved in development of specialized cells and establishment of organ structures.
- Stem cells: What they are and what they do - Mayo ClinicEmbryonic stem cells are the most versatile since they can develop into all the cells of the developing fetus. The majority of stem cells in the body have fewer abilities to give rise to cells and may only help maintain and repair the tissues and organs in which they reside.
- Embryonic Stem Cell Research | Voices in Bioethics - Columbia UniversityIn November 1998, two teams of U.S. scientists confirmed successful isolation and growth of stems cells obtained from human fetuses and embryos. Since then, research that utilizes human embryonic cells has been a widely debated, controversial ethical issue.
