teratocarcinomaderived
Teratocarcinoma derived refers to cells originating from a teratocarcinoma, a type of germ cell tumor. Teratocarcinomas are characterized by the presence of multiple differentiated cell types, including ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal tissues, often organized in a disorganized manner. These tumors are thought to arise from primordial germ cells that have undergone aberrant differentiation.
When cells are described as teratocarcinoma derived, it typically signifies that they have been cultured in
The study of teratocarcinoma derived cells has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of early embryonic
