The 17 pages that link to Embryonic stem cell, each with the reason it gives.

• Embryonic developmentRelated: Its developmental potential informs both research into cell fate and ethical debate.

• Stem cellBroader topic: Embryonic stem cells are a foundational pluripotent type, with distinct ethical and technical considerations.

• OrganogenesisNarrower topic: Its broad developmental potential contrasts with the restricted fates of organ-forming cells.

• BlastocystCompared with: Stem cells can descend from blastocyst cells but are not themselves intact embryos.

• NeurulationRelated: These cells provide experimental models for studying neural differentiation and tube formation.

• Induced pluripotent stem cellCompared with: Both cell types are pluripotent, but they differ in origin and ethical considerations.

• OocyteCompared with: An oocyte is a germ cell; it is not a pluripotent stem cell.

• Somatic cell nuclear transferBroader topic: In therapeutic SCNT, the developing embryo provides cells for deriving patient-matched stem cells.

• Germ layerRelated: Its differentiation into each germ layer is a standard measure of pluripotency.

• Cellular reprogrammingCompared with: Embryonic stem cells provide a pluripotent reference state that induced cells aim to reproduce.

• Stem-cell therapyRelated: Its broad developmental potential distinguishes it from adult stem cells used in many established transplants.

• Hans SpemannCompared with: Stem-cell research addresses developmental potential at the cellular level, complementing the tissue interactions Spemann studied.

• Inner cell massBroader topic: Its derivation turns inner cell mass cells into a renewable research resource.

• Laboratory mouseRelated: Embryonic stem cells enabled targeted gene changes in mice.

• Martin EvansNarrower topic: Evans isolated and cultured these cells from mouse embryos.

• Human embryonic developmentRelated: Pluripotency characterizes cells in the early embryo before their fates become restricted.

• Mario CapecchiRelated: Cultured embryonic stem cells carried targeted mutations into developing mice.
