Characteristics of Embryonic Stem Cells 1.O1 Derived from pre-implantation or peri-implantation embryo Embryonic stem cells of the inner cell mass are 2. Self-Renewal The cells can divide to make copies of themselves for a pluripotent, having prolonged period of time without differentiating a normal karyotype e maintaining high telomerase activity 3. Pluripotency: Embryonic stem cells can give rise to and exhibiting cells from all three embryonic germ layers even after being grown remarkable long- in culture for a long time term proliferative The three germ layers and one example of a cell type derived from each layer potential Ectoderm Endoderm Neur Blood celis Livr cell
Embryonic stem cells of the inner cell mass are pluripotent, having a normal karyotype, maintaining high telomerase activity, and exhibiting remarkable longterm proliferative potential
Propagation the ability to self- renew stem cell Asymmetric division instead of SYMMETRIC DIVISION giving rise to two of stem cell the same cells, you get one regular cell ASYMMETRIC and another stem DIVISION Limitless progenitor cell replication telomeres
The ability to selfrenew. Asymmetric division: instead of giving rise to two of the same cells, you get one regular cell and another stem . Limitless replication: telomeres
Pluripotent the inner cell mass are are able to differentiate to primitive ectoderm They ultimately differentiates during gastrulation into all derivatives of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm These include more than 220 cell types in the adult bod
