Haploid Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Half the Genome, Double the Value

Yilmaz, Peretz, et al., November 3, 2016

Summary: Recent advances in the generation of HhESCs, capable of self-renewal and differentiation, have laid the groundwork for numerous biomedical applications in developmental biology and reproductive medicine. When combined with the power of genetic screening, HhESCs could advance cancer research, regenerative medicine, and disease modeling.
