Stem cell-based models of embryos: The need for improved naming conventions
Kirstin R.W. Matthews, Daniel S. Wagner, Aryeh Warmflash
Abstract
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.
