Abstract. Embryonic stem cells have huge potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as they hold the capacity to produce every type of cell and tissue in the body. In theory, the treatment of human disease could be revolutionized by the ability to generate any cell, tissue, or even organ, ‘on demand’ in the laboratory. This

An Opposite Effect of the CDK Inhibitor, p18INK4c on Embryonic Stem Cells Compared with Tumor and Adult Stem Cells [PDF]
Self-renewal is a feature common to both adult and embryonic stem (ES) cells, as well as tumor stem cells (TSCs). The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p18INK4c, is a known tumor suppressor that can inhibit self-renewal of tumor cells or adult stem ...

Inter-species Transplantation of Blastocysts between Medaka and Zebrafish
Transplantation of blastocysts from a donor to a host blastula constitutes a powerful experimental tool to tackle major developmental biology questions. The technique is widely implemented in diverse biological models including teleost fish, where it is ...

AbstractThe capacity of embryonic stem cells for virtually unlimited self‐renewal and differentiation capacity has opened up the prospect of widespread applications in biomedical research and regenerative medicine. For the latter, the cells provide hope that it will be possible to overcome the problems of donor tissue shortage and also, by making the ...

Subventricular zone stem cells are heterogeneous with respect to their embryonic origins and neurogenic fates in the adult olfactory bulb [PDF]
Wedetermined the embryonic origins of adult forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells by Cre-lox fate mapping in transgenic mice. We found that all parts of the telencephalic neuroepithelium, including the medial ganglionic eminence and lateral ...

Embryonic Stem Cells in Cattle [PDF]
ContentsBecause of the potential use of embryonic stem cells (ESC), especially for genetic modifications, there is great interest in establishing domestic animals‐related ESCs. Unfortunately, despite considerable efforts, validated ESC lines in species other than mice and primates are yet to be isolated.

Embryonic Stem Cell Markers [PDF]
Embryonic stem cell (ESC) markers are molecules specifically expressed in ES cells. Understanding of the functions of these markers is critical for characterization and elucidation for the mechanism of ESC pluripotent maintenance and self-renewal, therefore helping to accelerate the clinical application of ES cells.

BackgroundEctopic lipid deposition plays a promoting role in many chronic metabolic diseases. Abnormal adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an important cause of lipid deposition in organs.

In mammals, dosage compensation of X-linked gene expression between males and females is achieved by inactivation of a single X chromosome in females, while upregulation of the single active X in males and females leads to X:autosome dosage balance ...

In vitro human embryonic stem cell hematopoiesis mimics MYB-independent yolk sac hematopoiesis [PDF]
Although hematopoietic precursor activity can be generated in vitro from human embryonic stem cells, there is no solid evidence for the appearance of multipotent, self-renewing and transplantable hematopoietic stem cells.
