Stress and pluripotency
Vacanti and colleagues recently reported the generation of mouse cells exhibiting pluri/totipotency by stress treatment, and showed that these cells can give rise to chimeras and clonal adults (Obokata et al., 2014a,b). The findings were controversial, and the authors have now retracted the papers, citing multiple critical errors within the reports that impaired the credibility of the findings ...
متن کاملPluripotency and nuclear reprogramming.
Embryonic stem cells are promising donor cell sources for cell transplantation therapy, which may in the future be used to treat various diseases and injuries. However, as is the case for organ transplantation, immune rejection after transplantation is a potential problem with this type of therapy. Moreover, the use of human embryos presents serious ethical difficulties. These issues may be ove...
متن کاملTotipotency/pluripotency and patentability.
UNLABELLED In their article entitled " COMMENTARY Is totipotency of a human cell a sufficient reason to exclude its patentability under the European law" (Stem Cells 2007;25:3026-3028), K.T. Vrtovec and B. Vrtovec conclude that arguments based on differentiation potential should not be an obstacle to patenting human embryonic stem cells (and related cells referred to as totipotent or pluripot...
متن کاملProteomics and pluripotency.
The fields of mass spectrometry (MS) and stem cell biology have expanded greatly in the past twenty years. Taken alone, these fields occupy entirely different branches of science; however, the points where they overlap provide valuable insight, both in the biological and technical arenas. From a biological perspective, MS-based proteomics offers the capacity to follow post-transcriptional regul...
متن کاملCapturing Pluripotency
In this Essay, we argue that pluripotent epiblast founder cells in the embryo and embryonic stem (ES) cells in culture represent the ground state for a mammalian cell, signified by freedom from developmental specification or epigenetic restriction and capacity for autonomous self-replication. We speculate that cell-to-cell variation may be integral to the ES cell condition, safe-guarding self-r...
