The Uses of Pluripotent Stem Cells as a New Model for Embryology Gastrulation
Author(s): Samuel Engida*
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) are pluripotent stem cells that can differentiate into all three germ layers of the
embryo, giving rise to each of the somatic cell types in the body. Pluripotent stem cells have been widely used to
study and understand the developmental processes that take place during gastrulation, a key stage in embryonic
development. During gastrulation, the embryo transforms from a simple ball of cells into a complex structure
with multiple cell layers and distinct regions. Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into several cell types
and thus are of great importance in the fields of medicine, biology and tissue engineering. Pluripotent stem cells,
in particular, are cells that can differentiate into any cell type, making them highly valuable and versatile. These
cells are derived from embryos, and their ability to differentiate into any cell type makes th.. View More»
