Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the potential to form more than 200 distinct cell types in the human body. Although ESCs can differentiate into any specialized tissue, scientists are still unsure of how to coax these pluripotent cells to reliably form a desired cell type without producing a mix of contaminating cell lineages.
