Human embryonic stem cells (red) engrafted in a mouse kidney
Human embryonic stem cells (red) engrafted in the kidney of a mouse. The mice used in this experiment are lacking an immune system and will therefore not reject human stem cells. This trait makes them ideal for testing the safety and effectiveness of human embryonic stem cell-based therapies.
