What we do know is that in mice (and so, presumably, in humans) FOXP2 is active in the brain during embryonic development.

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.

2007 also saw one of the most game - changing developments in the stem cell field; researchers learned how to create cells like embryonic stem cells, but instead of coming from an embryo these cells are created from adult cells, potentially cells from any tissue in the human body.

Eight HARs showed differences in their enhancer activity when the human mutations were present.4 These differences modify how genes were expressed in the developing limb (HAR2, 2xHAR114), eye (HAR25), and central nervous system (2xHAR142, 2xHAR238, 2xHAR164, 2xHAR170, ANC516 / HARE5).4, 10 Because relatively few time points have been examined, it is likely that an even higher percentage of the tested HARs are active enhancers at some point during embryonic development or in adult tissues, possibly with human - chimp differences.

Lanner is attempting to edit genes in human embryos to learn more about how the genes regulate early embryonic development.

Created in 2005 through a collaboration between Inserm — National Institute of Health and Medical Research — and AFM - Telethon — French Association against Myopathies — I - Stem is the largest French laboratory for research and development dedicated to human pluripotent stem cells, of embryonic origin or obtained by reprogramming gene.
