Embryonic stem cells derived from the inner cell mass can differentiate to all embryonic lineages of any adult cell type and to a limited extent to extra-embryonic tissues. A study now allows the generation of pig and human stem cells with enhanced differentiation potential towards all embryonic and extra-embryonic fates, one step closer to the totipotent state of the fertilized egg.
