They have a high chance of being transmitted to offspring as de novo germline mutations and, in principle, can provide insights into early human
embryonic cell lineages and their contributions to adult tissues.

Directed and step-wised differentiation of
embryonic stem
cells toward neuronal, cardiac and pancreatic
lineages
When transplanted to the subretinal space of mice lacking functional photoreceptors, human
embryonic stem
cells directed toward a retinal
lineage integrate into the outer nuclear layer, express photoreceptor markers, and restore a light response as determined by the electroretinogram (ERG)[5].
A whole network of these proteins is involved in giving
embryonic stem (ES)
cells pluripotency — the ability to generate all the
cell lineages of the body.
His thesis was entitled «Quantitative description of microRNA target site occupancy in mouse

The reason is that
embryonic stem
cells naturally want to make neuroectoderm, a
cell lineage in the embryo that forms the nervous system.
Embryonic stem (ES)
cells are karyotypically normal, embryo - derived
cell lines that are pluripotent, i.e. capable of generating all the
cell types of the future organism, but not the extra-
embryonic lineages.
However,
cells derived from the early epiblast are only able to contribute to
embryonic lineages and not those derived from the PrEn [18]--[20], while PrEn
cells can only contribute to their own
lineage by colonizing the visceral and mostly parietal endoderm in chimera experiments [20]--[22].
While ES
cells are derived from the ICM, they predominantly contribute to
embryonic lineages.
Mouse
embryonic stem
cells derived from the epiblast contribute to the somatic
lineages and the germline but are excluded from the extra-
embryonic tissues that are derived from the trophectoderm and the primitive endoderm upon reintroduction to the blastocyst.

Lineage Commitment in Human

Commitment in
embryonic stem
cells is often depicted as a binary choice between alternate
cell states, pluripotency and specification to a particular germ layer or extraembryonic
lineage.
During that time, she applied her knowledge of the processes governing normal heart development to direct the differentiation of
embryonic stem
cells into the cardiac
lineage.
Execution of pluripotency requires progression from the naïve status represented by mouse
embryonic stem
cells (ESCs) to a state capacitated for
lineage specification.
Lineage commitment in the mammalian embryo is most often depicted as a series of binary choices between alternate
cell states, and increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that fate decisions in
embryonic stem (ES)
cell cultures reflect these developmental processes [1].
We used the mutations to reconstruct developmental
lineages of adult
cells and demonstrate that the two daughter
cells of many early
embryonic cell - doubling events contribute asymmetrically to adult blood at an approximately 2:1 ratio.
