Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst can be maintained in culture, under pluripotent conditions, using Serum+LIF medium. However, it has been published that ...

The adaptive response of cells to external stimuli is an intriguing mechanism at the basis of the existence of life itself. For this purpose, signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks elegantly ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo and can recapitulate early developmental stages of the embryo. ESCs have the ability to continuously ...
