Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts and exhibit pluripotency, the ability to differentiate into diverse cell types. This unique property positions ESCs at the forefront of biomedical research. ESCs serve as invaluable models for investigating early human development and understanding the mechanisms of cellular differentiation. In addition to their role in basic research, ESCs hold significant therapeutic potential. They can potentially be directed to replace damaged or diseased tissues, offering hope for treating conditions such as spinal cord injuries, heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. The versatility of ESCs in generating specific cell types also makes them instrumental in drug discovery and personalised medicine. Ongoing advancements in ESC culture techniques and genetic manipulation continue to expand their utility and promise in revolutionising healthcare through innovative treatments and improved patient outcomes. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of embryonic stem cells. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of embryonic stem cells. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
