One‐Step Induction of Oogonia‐Like and Pro‐Spermatogonia‐Like Cells From Porcine Pluripotent Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established a one‐step method inducing pro‐spermatogonia‐like (activating SOX17) and oogonia‐like (activating SOX17/TFAP2C) cells from porcine pgEpiSCs with a NANOS3‐tdTomato reporter. EGF activates the core PGC program and supports survival; BMP4 further induces NANOS3 and DDX4 expression; IWR1 enhances PGCLC efficiency by suppressing ...
