Clusters of mouse embryonic stem cells called embryoid bodies more closely approximate true embryos in organisation and structure than previously thought, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Harnessing the signals that influence the cells' fate may help researchers more accurately direct the differentiation of embryonic stem cells for use in therapy...
