Cover: Embryonic stem cells are characterized by unlimited self-renewal capacity and the developmental potential to differentiate into virtually any cell type of an organism. The review by Wobus and Boheler focuses both on mouse and human embryonic stem cells with respect to their use in basic cell and developmental biology and presents prospects for human embryonic stem cells in tissue regeneration and transplantation. See Wobus, Anna M., and Kenneth R. Boheler. Physiol Rev 85: 635-678, 2005.
