- Abstract
The article discusses the methods in producing pluripotent stem-cell lines for understanding and treating diseases. One method involves cell removal from its stages of developments. The embryonic stem cells produced in these method would have the same gene as the embryo. The production of such stem-cell lines enables the study of the cellular and genetic bases of disease development. Another method is the used of nuclear transfer technique. This technique blocks the expression of cdx2 gene until the blastocyst stage of the cell.
