- Describe four molecular characteristics of stem cells that demonstrate their differences from somatic cells. 2. Describe the three major mechanisms that control cell fate. 3. Describe, in detail, the role of miRNAs in regulating pluripotency in human embryonic Stem Cells, including how their expression is regulated, and detail on their targets. 4. You might consider generating patient-specific stem cells for a certain individual. In somatic cell nuclear transfer using an individual’s own somatic cell and a donated unfertilized egg, would the embryonic stem cells which result have identical DNA to the patient donor who needs new tissues? Explain your answer.
