Thomson and colleagues: human embryonic stem-cell lines

Derived and maintained human blastocyst-derived pluripotent cell lines and characterized their karyotypes, telomerase activity, markers and differentiation potential.

What is recorded here?

Derived and maintained human blastocyst-derived pluripotent cell lines and characterized their karyotypes, telomerase activity, markers and differentiation potential.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact seven-author 1998 laboratory report. It is not a clinical transplantation or therapy result, does not resolve the ethical issues surrounding embryo-derived cells and does not absorb later induced-pluripotent or organoid work.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
