Furthermore, by making use of embryonic stem cells and in vitro differentiation, SIF - seq can be used to assess enhancer activity in a wide variety of disease - relevant cell types.» (sciencedaily.com)
Other potential uses of embryonic stem cells include investigation of early human development, study of genetic disease and as in vitro systems for toxicology testing. (sciencedaily.com)
The increasing use of in - vitro - fertilisation techniques, and the emergence of new possibilities involving human cloning, mixing of human and animal genetic elements, and the use of embryonic stem cells for research, among other things, brought the need for further teaching. (faith.org.uk)
