  Embryonic Stem Cells and Genetic Engineering: Toward Personalized Medicine
  Author(s): Amiro Lovell*
  
  In recent years, the fields of stem cell research and genetic engineering have converged in profound ways, offering new possibilities for personalized medicine. Among the most promising sources of pluripotent cells are Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs), which have the potential to differentiate into any cell type in the body. This unique property makes them an invaluable tool for understanding development, disease mechanisms, and for generating patient- specific therapies. Meanwhile, advances in genetic engineering techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, have revolutionized our ability to precisely modify the genome, offering targeted approaches to treating genetic disorders, improving drug efficacy, and even creating genetically tailored tissues and organs for transplantation...
