mouse embryonic stem cells

Mouse embryonic stem cells are special cells taken from early-stage mouse embryos. They have the unique ability to develop into any type of cell in the body, such as muscle, nerve, or skin cells. Because of this flexibility, scientists use them to study how tissues develop and to explore potential medical treatments. These cells are important tools in research because they help us understand fundamental biological processes and can be used to test therapies in a controlled environment before applying them to humans or animals.
