Crab-Eating Monkey Embryo Post-Implantation

Caption

A crab-eating monkey embryo post-implantation (14 days after fertilization). New research shows that certain primate stem cells have pluripotency superior to some types derived from mice. The study, published in Nature, maps how pluripotency differs among mice, monkeys, and humans, and illustrates for the first time the characteristics unique to primate stem cells.
