In fact, when the 2007 paper came out, the commentaries in most scientific publications were quick to point out that, despite the success with adult cells, there was still a need to continue embryo - destructive research and that it would be critical to the advancement of science that research on embryonic stem cells continue.

While it is widely accepted that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to become any type of cell, the molecular causes for this characteristic are still under much investigation, although one suspected player is chromatin.

While embryonic stem cells are widely studied, a lesser known, but still significant, population of stem cells also resides within the early developing embryo: trophoblast stem cells (TSCs).
