Hello!

I’ve been looking at induced pleuripotent stem cells and what forms of human tissues they can generate. IT seems as though many tissues and even a couple partial organs have already been generated. There is ALOT of literature on this! hahaha.

“To what degree are the inductive elements that are necessary for liver bud formation in the embryo the same as the inductive elements that are necessary for liver bud formation from induced pleuripotent stem cells (in rats or mice)?”

I have been thinking of different variations of this question with different organ/tissue systems or with different more specific parameters for inductive elements (such as a smaller list of specific known proteins).

Have a good day!
