Pluripotent Stem Cells Research

Pluripotent Stem Cells Research is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 39k research works in it since 1950. 22.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the induction, differentiation, and reprogramming of pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. It covers topics such as transcriptional regulatory circuitry, neural and cardiac differentiation, epigenetic memory, and the use of defined factors for reprogramming. The research also explores the potential applications of pluripotent stem cells in modeling development, disease, and tissue regeneration.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
