Although if cells are allowed to clump together to form embryoid bodies they will naturally begin spontaneous differentiation. Although, spontaneous differentiation is a good hint which shows that a culture of embryonic stem cells is healthy, it is not a good way to produce cultures of specific cell types and is quite time consuming. As a result, scientists try to control the differentiation of embryonic stem cells. They modify the chemical composition of the culture, change the surface of the culture dish, or adjust the cells by inserting specific genes. Through years of experimentation, scientists have established some basic protocols for the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells into some specific cell
