What Does ESC Stand For?
ESC stands for Embryonic Stem Cell
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the early stages of embryonic development, specifically from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. They possess the unique ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, making them a valuable resource for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and developmental biology research. ESCs hold promise for therapeutic applications, including tissue repair and the treatment of various diseases, by providing insights into cell differentiation and development. However, their use raises ethical considerations regarding the source of the cells.
