Abstract
Human embryology holds immense promise for medical science, offering insights into the initial establishment of human growth and the potential for regenerative medicine. This paper delves into the captivating realm of self-renewing pluripotent stem cells, which lie at the heart of unlocking the mysteries of human embryology. Pluripotent stem cells hold the outstanding capacity to form into any cell type inside the body, presenting unprecedented opportunities for understanding development, modeling diseases, and facilitating therapeutic interventions. With recent advancements in cellular reprogramming techniques and genome editing technologies, researchers have made significant strides in connecting the potential of pluripotent stem cells for various bids. This paper aims to explore the journey of pluripotent stem cells, from their discovery to current state-of-the-art methodologies, while highlighting the challenges and ethical considerations inherent in their utilization. By elucidating the mechanisms governing pluripotency and differentiation, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into human embryology and pave the way for innovative approaches in regenerative medicine and disease modeling
