human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are special cells derived from early-stage embryos. They have the unique ability to develop into any type of cell in the body, such as heart, brain, or muscle cells. Because of this, they hold great potential for regenerative medicine, helping to repair damaged tissues and treat diseases. hESCs are obtained from embryos created in laboratories, often for fertility treatments, with ethical considerations being important. Their versatility makes them a key focus in medical research aimed at understanding human development and developing new therapies.
