Inner cell mass egg fertilised egg 2-cell stage 8-cell stage Morula blastocyst Day 4-5 Human ES cells are derived from donated excess IVF embryos December 2022 Dr Brenda Williams Topic title: Stem Cells 7 ES cells - in the laboratory Can be grown indefinitely in the laboratory. Have potential to generate all cell types in our body (pluripotent). differentiation can be controlled/ manipulated in culture to generate specific cell types.
