USC postdoctoral researcher Xi Chen knows that you have to break a few eggs in order to grow chicken stem cells. His work on maintaining embryonic stem cells (ESC) from chicken eggs provides insight into stem cell pluripotency and evolutionary developmental biology.
“The choice of beginning with fertilized chicken eggs was critical to the success of my research because they are easy to get from a farm. It took more than 5,000 fertilized eggs to develop an optimal environment for maintaining chicken…
