Embryonic stem cells can be turned into any type of cell or tissue in the body, at least in theory.
Embryonic stem cells, which are tiny clusters of cells, can theoretically grow into any type of cell or tissue.
Embryonic stem cells can turn into any type of cell in the body.
Embryonic stem cells, which can potentially be turned into any type of cell in the body, could be a source of islet cells.
Embryonic stem cells, however, are capable of becoming almost any type of cell or tissue, and they are self-renewing, whether in the body or in the laboratory.
They emerge like cellular infants, able to multiply abundantly and grow into any type of cell in the body, a superpower known as pluripotency.
Such cells are pluripotent, meaning they are able to become any type of cell in the body.
Embryonic stem cells can turn into any type of cell in the body, like heart cells, muscles or neurons.
The company has said it is not interested in creating babies from human embryo clones but rather in "therapeutic cloning," creating cloned embryos in order to derive embryonic stem cells that can grow into any type of cell.
Embryonic stem cells can be turned into any type of cell in the body, potentially providing new heart, liver or pancreatic tissues to people whose own organs are damaged.
Stem cells, the human body's primordial master cells, have the potential to develop into any type of cell or tissue -- for example, insulin-producing cells that might treat diabetes.
