Research on developmental pathways in model organisms provides key information on how to isolate, maintain, and differentiate human pluripotent stem cells. However, details of developmental pathways differ even across mammalian species. Full realization of the potential of stem cells will require more direct studies of human or primate developmental biology.
研究模式生物的发育途径为如何分离、维持和分化人类多能干细胞提供了关键信息。然而，即使在哺乳动物物种之间，发育途径的细节也存在差异。要充分发挥干细胞的潜力，还需要对人类或灵长类动物发育生物学进行更直接的研究。
