Pluripotent cell states and unexpected fates

Martin F Pera. Stem Cell Reports. .

Abstract

Pluripotent stem cells provide a powerful model for the study of human development and its disorders. Recent studies, including two in this issue of Stem Cell Reports, raise important questions concerning the developmental potential of human pluripotent stem cells, and how the behavior of these cells in vitro mirrors normal embryogenesis.
