Mouse pluripotent stem cells at a glance.

چکیده
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of an embryo at the blastocyst stage. They are characterised by the ability to proliferate indefinitely (or selfrenew) in vitro while maintaining pluripotency, i. e. the capacity to differentiate into germ cells and a broad number of cell types that originate from the three primary germ layers endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Defining the identity of embryonic pluripotent stem cells has been a main focus for the stem cell field since the derivation of the first mouse ESCs (mESCs) in 1981 (Evans and Kaufman, 1981; Martin, 1981). Indeed, mESCs could simply be the

Expression of pluripotent stem cell markers in mouse uterine tissue during estrous cycle
It was assumed that uterine stem cells are responsible for the unique regenerative capacity of uterine. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of the pluripotent stem cell markers in the mice uterine tissue during different stages of estrous cycles. Twelve virgin female NMRI mice (6 to 8 weeks old) were considered at proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus a...
متن کاملI-11: Dedifferentiation of Mouse Fibroblast Cells by Chemical Induction
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated by ectopic expression of four transcription factors have great promises for regenerative medicine in humans. Since the initial report of iPSCs by viral transfection, ample efforts have been made in the generation of iPSCs through nonviral approaches. Small molecules offer the advantages of low cost without genomic modification and have been used ...
متن کاملEvaluation and Comparison of the Expression Levels of the ZBTB16 (Plzf) and ZFP Genes and Alkaline Phosphatase in Three Cell Populations: Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells, Embryonic Stem-Like Cells (Es-Like), And Embryonic Stem Cells
Introduction: One of the vital enzymes during spermatogenesis, which is one of the pluripotency factors of stem cells and contributes to maintaining their pluripotency is alkaline phosphatase. ZBTB16 and ZFP proteins are critical elements in stem cells which are expressed in pluripotent stem cells and maintain their pluripotency due to their role in messaging pathways. Material & Methods: The ...
متن کاملEstablishment, Culture and Freezing of Human and Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells: a Protocol Guide
Studies of the biology of human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) have developed rapidly over the past nine years since the first reports of their derivation. They clearly offer enormous potential, not only for regenerative medicine, but also for drug discovery and toxicology, human developmental biology and cancer research. Realizing these potentials a better understanding of the fundamental as...
متن کاملI-54: New Models for Human and Mouse Genetic
The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Mouse Stem Cells into Neural Cells on PLGA Microspheres Scaffold
The cellular therapy and nerve tissue engineering will probably become a major therapeutic strategy for promoting axonal growth through injured area in central nervous system and peripheral nervous system in the coming years. The stem cell carrier scaffolds in nerve tissue engineering resulted in strong survival of cells and suitable differentiation into n...
