Introducing the Stem Cell-Based Embryo Lineup One group of researchers sought to determine if human pluripotent cells could aggregate and differentiate into the distinct germ layers—ectoderm, mesoderm ...

The three germ layers are formed from the inner cell mass of the mammalian embryo during gastrulation. Here, the authors present a method by which a single mouse embryonic stem cell, derived from ...

These ESCs differentiated and assembled into radial layers of three embryonic germ tissues, or micropattern colonies. 2 Researchers use these spatially organized colonies to study gene expression and ...

In utero, the blastocyst implants and all three embryonic germ layers are formed during gastrulation. Somatic stem cells are present in many fetal and post-natal tissues.

In response to recent critics of the potential of adult stem cells, Verfaillie's research shows in vitro that a single cell differentiates into cells of the three germ layers, that they were ...

In particular, these breast milk stem cells can develop into any of the three embryonic germ layers, known as the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.

Gastrulation is the formation of the three principal germ layers—endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Understanding the formation of the basic body plan is not only important to reveal how the ...

Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form ...

Itskovitz-Eldor, J, Schuldiner, M, Karsenti, D, et al. Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into embryoid bodies compromising the three embryonic germ layers.

Whole-genome screening of human embryonic stem cells identifies gene networks that link pluripotency and readiness for apoptosis.

The discovery of a new kind of stem cell challenges conventional thinking about embryonic development. According to the traditional view, the human embryo develops from a three-layered collection ...
