Talk title: Curious Cases of Pluripotent Stem Cell Adaptations

Abstract:  Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can self-renew and generate nearly any cell type, offering a powerful system to study development and advance regenerative medicine. Recent innovations—from iPSC generation to embryo-like models—have transformed our understanding of pluripotency. In this talk, I will highlight how PSCs can adapt to unconventional in vitro and in vivo environments, revealing new principles and tools in mammalian biology.
