Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal, Analyzed
نویسنده
چکیده
Maintaining the pluripotency of mouse ES cells requires both LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor) and unknown factors in serum. The paper from Ying et al. in this issue of Cell shows that BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) can replace serum in this capacity, defining molecular requirements for ES cell self-renewal.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells which have the ability to indefinitely self-renew and differentiate into all differentiated cells of the body. Regarding their two main properties (unlimited self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation), these cells have various biomedical applications in basic research and cell based therapy. Because the transplantation of differentiated cells...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Expansion of Human Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Cell Therapy Applications
Successful isolation, derivation and culturing of human pluripotent stem cells, including human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem (hiPSCs) cells in laboratory scale has opened new horizones for cell therapy applications such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, most of the cell therapy protocols using these unique cells require large number of ...
متن کاملSpermatogonia stem cells: A new pluripotent source for repairment in regenerative medicine
Recently new reports have proved the pluripotency of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) derived from male gonad. This pluripotent stem cells resembled Embryonic stem cells recognized as Embryonic Stem like cells (ES like cells). ES like cells forms sharp edge colonies that are immunopositive to pluripotency markers and have differentiation capacity to Ectodermal, Mesodermal and Endodermal layers....
متن کاملBMP signaling is required for controlling somatic stem cell self-renewal in the Drosophila ovary.
BMP signaling is essential for promoting self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells and Drosophila germline stem cells and for repressing stem cell proliferation in the mouse intestine and skin. However, it remains unknown whether BMP signaling can promote self-renewal of adult somatic stem cells. In this study, we show that BMP signaling is necessary and sufficient for promoting self-renewal a...
متن کاملEffects of Mouse Strain on Establishment of Embryonic Stem Cell Lines
Purpose: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts with self-renewal and pluripotency characteristics. These cells have potential for studies of in vitro differentiation, gene function, etc. This study was, therefore, initiated to establish new ES lines and evaluate the effects of strain on ES cell production. Materials and Methods: 3-5 day blastocysts were ...
متن کاملTrim71 cooperates with microRNAs to repress Cdkn1a expression and promote embryonic stem cell proliferation
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells have a shortened cell cycle that enables their rapid proliferation. The embryonic stem cell-specific miR-290 and miR-302 microRNA families promote proliferation whereas let-7 microRNAs inhibit self-renewal, and promote cell differentiation. Lin28 suppresses let-7 expression in embryonic stem cells. Here to gain further insight into mechanisms controlling embryon...
