Embryonic stem cells are crucial for studying developmental biology due to their self-renewal and pluripotency capabilities. This research investigates the differentiation of mouse ESCs into adipocytes, offering insights into obesity and metabolic disorders. Using a monolayer differentiation approach over 30 days, lipid accumulation and adipogenic markers, such as , , and confirmed successful differentiation.
