cell cells embryonic explore forms human known mechanisms order procedure pursue realize stem success techniques tools
The success of this procedure in no way precludes the need to pursue all forms of human embryonic stem cell research, ... Human embryonic stem cells are extraordinarily complicated. If we are ever to realize their therapeutic potential, we must use all known tools and techniques in order to explore the mechanisms that give these cells such startling characteristics.
clone embryonic gene inhibit stem
Our experiments are very clear. You inhibit this gene and you get a clone that has no way of ever implanting. But this clone can make embryonic stem cells.
affected areas brain exploring future knowing options precise process
Knowing more about the process and about the precise areas of the brain that are affected will give us options for exploring future therapies.
cloning consider stage
It is not responsible at this stage to even consider the cloning of humans.
altered extremely nuclear study transfer work works
Our work is the first proof-of-principle study to show that altered nuclear transfer not only works but is extremely efficient.
