ESC

There are multiple definitions:

  1. European Society of Cardiology(English)

  2. embryonic stem cell(English)

    • derived from the inner cell mass of human preimplantation embryos formed during infertility treatment of couples for IVF. They are donated by the couples, with informed consent, for research on these cells. In addition, couples having treatment for preimplantation genetic diagnosis of their embryos, to avoid the birth of babies with severe genetic disease, may consent to provide their discarded early-cleavage-stage embryos for derivation of disease-specific ESC, such as those with Huntington's disease, thalassaemia, or cystic fibrosis. These ESC may be renewed in vitro and expanded indefinitely by regular passage in coculture with a wide range of feeder cells (e.g., mouse or human embryonic fibroblasts) and, more recently, in feeder- and serumfree culture conditions in the presence of fibroblast growth factor and neurotrophic growth factors
