The ability of SIF - seq to use reporter assays in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify human embryonic stem cell enhancers that are not present in the mouse genome opens the door to intriguing research possibilities as Dickel explains.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (known as iPSCs) are similar to human embryonic stem cells in that both cell types have the unique ability to self - renew and have the flexibility to become any cell in the human body.

The ability of a fertilized egg to generate both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues is referred to as «totipotency,» an ultimate stem cell state seen only during the earliest stages of embryonic development.

The research used skin samples from five men to create what are known as induced pluripotent stem cells, which closely resemble embryonic stem cells in their ability to become nearly any tissue in the body.

Stem cells (be they embryonic cells or adult cells that have been induced back to an embryonic - like state) have an amazing ability to become any other living cell as long as the right genetic and external signals are applied.

Yamanaka and Takahashi began their search by studying embryonic stem cells in the hope of identifying the genes that underlie essential stem cell characteristics, such as pluripotency and proliferation, a cell's ability to replicate itself.

Editing embryonic stem cells was concluded to be a non-viable route, as these cells lose the ability to become germ cells when in culture.

While it has long been known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop into any kind of tissue - specific cells, the exact mechanism as to how this occurs has heretofore not been demonstrated.
