Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the remarkable ability to differentiate into all cells comprising the three germ layers of the developing embryo. It is this pluripotency that makes them attractive for use in regenerative medicine. However, in order to harness this potential, we m…

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are a valuable tool for studying differentiation and development (1). These cells are characterized by their potential to differentiate into any of the three germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm (2,3). ES cells are therefore a powerful model sys…
