Overview

Embryonic germ cells (EGCs) are a type of stem cell derived from the primordial germ cells of the early mammalian embryo. EGCs can differentiate into any of the cell types that make up the body, giving them the potential to replace or regenerate any lost or damaged tissues or organs. They may also be used for research, for drug screening and for regenerative medicine. EGCs are attractive for research and clinical applications due to their self-renewal ability, uniform developmental stage, and ease of manipulation and expansion.
