What did Evans establish in cell culture?
Embryonic stem cells
Bacterial colonies
Virus cultures
Fungal spores
Answer
Embryonic stem cells were first established in cell culture by Evans in 1981. These cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, which are early-stage embryos. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have the potential to differentiate into any type of cell in the body. This makes them a valuable tool for studying human development and disease, and for potential use in regenerative medicine.
