Blockage of the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Is Required for Embryonic Stem Cell Derivation

Pluripotent cells emanate from the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst and when cultivated under optimal conditions immortalize as embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The fundamental mechanism underlying ESC derivation has, however, remained elusive. Recently, we have devised a highly efficient approac...
