I didn't actually realise until i came to do some more writing of my report that i haven't really uploaded my research here. I had been gathering it all in my research document and when i came to blog about my weekly lessons it just didn't occur to me to upload my research. I'm supposed to be doing this work on Wednesday during lesson if i have the chance and then roughly 2-3 hours of work at home, then work on Saturday. My Saturdays have been a bit hectic and unstructured of late so i will try to make it my day i upload my weeks work, I've recently been very forgetful of the work I've done, i can't remember much of my research and i can't remember the work I've done in other modules. I'm hoping getting an upload routine may help me.
Anyway, whilst i'm here i will upload some of my research.
This website had informed me of a great deal of information about Embryonic stem cells themselves and the history surrounding their discovery, it was very helpful in getting me up to speed on some of the facts. I knew a fair amount about them before but most likely no more than the average person that had read about them.

This image by itself probably means nothing to the layman but reading through the website article explained that this is infact an embryo in a stage of formation called the Blastocist stage which occurs early in the development cycle.
"the blastocoel, which is a fluid-filled cavity within the blastocyst, and the inner cell mass, also known as the embryoblast, which can become the embryo proper, or fetus, and is where hESCs are isolated from."
