Abstract

"Theory of Forms" implies that a genuine version of creatures exists beyond the shapes in this world. Stem cell<br />technology has adopted developmental cues to mimic real life. However, the functionality of the lab-made cells is far<br />from primary ones. Perhaps it is time to switch from analytical to systematic perspective in stem cell science. This<br />may be the way to define new horizons based on the systematic perspective and convergence of science in stem cell<br />biology, bridging the current gap between the shadows of real knowledge in current research and reality in future.
