Abstract
Translational biomedical research holds potential for the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of injury, illness or disability. To better understand intrinsic cellular and molecular biology, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be used as a tool. hESCs are pluripotent with the abilities to be held in a self-renewal state or become induced to a desired germ layer then to be later directed through differentiation.
