title: Human embryonic stem cells: a model for human ageing in vitro.
abstract: Stem cells have been used to investigate developmental processes and may be used as a therapeutic source of material for regenerative medicine and cancer. Here we propose the use of human embryonic stem cells, which represent a youthful phenotype, as models for experimentally investigating human ageing.
