Stem cell-based models of embryos are known by various names, with different naming conventions, leading to confusion regarding their composition and potential. We propose the need for a general term for the field to promote public engagement and the development of a systematic nomenclature system to differentiate between specific models.
胚胎干细胞模型有多种名称,不同的命名约定导致了对其组成和潜力的混淆。我们建议为该领域使用一个通用术语,以促进公众参与,并制定一个系统的命名法来区分特定的模型。
