Can Embryonic Stem Cells be Used for Cancer Treatment?
While ESCs themselves are not used directly for cancer treatment, the knowledge gained from studying them has led to the development of novel cancer therapies. For example, understanding the signaling pathways and genetic factors that regulate ESC pluripotency and differentiation has opened up new avenues for targeted cancer therapies. Additionally, ESCs can be used to generate specific cell types for use in drug screening and discovery.
