This gene is a selection device to see which cells are pluripotent.

For human treatment, there is a need for patient specific pluripotent cells.

This involves a conversion to a pluripotent state, otherwise known as dedifferentiation.

In the future, researchers hope that induced pluripotent cells may be used to treat other diseases.

While considered multipotent, they may prove to be pluripotent.

These experiments, which took eight years, utilized some of the first pluripotent stem cell cultures ever made.

The key is for her to get her cell lines out to me and others so we can test whether they are pluripotent or not."

These cells are referred to as pluripotent.

And, to date, there is no population of adult stem cells that is pluripotent."

Some have proposed that such controversy may be overcome with the use of induced pluripotent stem cells from adults.

New tissues can grow due to pluripotent stem cells that have the ability to create all the various cell types.

Accumulating evidence suggests that hepatoblastoma is derived from a pluripotent stem cell.

They cannot say if this will work in humans because a safe way to inject the genes for the induced pluripotent cells is still needed.

A cell that is able to differentiate into many cell types is known as pluripotent.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, and thus can become any other cell type excluding the placenta.

In mice, pluripotent stem cells can be directly generated from adult fibroblast cultures.

Finally, a recent study identified miR-184 as essential for embryonic corneal commitment of pluripotent stem cells.

Blastula-stage cells can behave as pluripotent stem cells in many species.

The latest research points to the fact that some stem cells thought to be multipotent might well be pluripotent.

The difference between totipotent, pluripotent and multipotent stem cells may grow less significant as research proceeds.

These amniotic stem cells are pluripotent and able to differentiate into various tissues, which may be useful for future human application.

In addition to being a marker for pluripotency, its regulation is also critical in maintaining a pluripotent state.

It has been proposed that effective treatments may be developed in a less controversial way by use of induced pluripotent stem cells taken from adults.

They are pluripotent by nature, and may be of assistance in regenerating all the types of tissue that go to make up the human body.

For the Commission, the use of human pluripotent stem cells to cure diseases is not necessarily excluded from patentability.
