Human embryonic germ cells for future neuronal replacement therapy
Human embryonic germ cells for future neuronal replacement therapy
Stem cell therapy offers exciting potential for ambitious cellular replacement to treat human (h) disease, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or even replacement of the cell death that follows thromboembolic stroke. The realisation of these treatments requires cellular resources possessing three essential characteristics: (i) self-renewal, (ii) the ability to differentiate to physiologically normal cell types and (iii) lack of tumourigenicity.
Here, we describe work on human embryonic germ cells (hEGCs), a population of cells alongside human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with the potential to address these issues.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy offers exciting potential for ambitious cellular replacement to treat human (h) disease, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or even replacement of the cell death that follows thromboembolic stroke. The realisation of these treatments requires cellular resources possessing three essential characteristics: (i) self-renewal, (ii) the ability to differentiate to physiologically normal cell types and (iii) lack of tumourigenicity.
Here, we describe work on human embryonic germ cells (hEGCs), a population of cells alongside human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with the potential to address these issues.
