Summary Introduction

To propose: An experiment to direct an embryonic stem cell or iPS cell to develop into a muscle cell.

Concept introduction:

Embryonic stem cells or iPS (induced pluripotent) cells are undifferentiated cells and can develop into different cell types. They are stimulated to differentiate into specific cell types by different culture media, or modifying the cells by insertion of particular genes. Genetic engineering is the process of insertion of a target DNA segment consisting of a gene of interest from one organism to another. The inserted DNA segment expresses in the new genetically engineered organism.
