Preferred Label : embryonal carcinoma stem cells;
MeSH definition : The malignant stem cells of TERATOCARCINOMAS, which resemble pluripotent stem cells
of the BLASTOCYST INNER CELL MASS. The EC cells can be grown in vitro, and experimentally
induced to differentiate. They are used as a model system for studying early embryonic
cell differentiation.;
