I-18: Avian Chimeras and Germ Cell Migration

Background: In avian species, the germ line stem cell population arises outside of the embryonic gonad and proceeds on a circuitous migration to the germinal epithelium. Specifically, in the avian embryo, the process of germ line stem cell migration proceeds through a series of active and passive migratory phases. The germline stem cells or primordial germ cells (PGCs) located in the epiblast o...

Chimeric Primates: Embryonic Stem Cells Need Not Apply

In this issue, Tachibana et al. report the generation of the first chimeras from a nonhuman primate, the rhesus monkey. Unlike mice, rhesus chimeras fail to form when embryonic stem cells are injected into blastocysts. Instead, chimera formation is achieved by aggregation of several four-cell embryos.

Large-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 ...

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neurons

Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. These unique cell lines have the potential to form virtually any cell type in the body and can be propagated in vitro indefinitely in an undifferentiated state. These cells are capable of forming embryoid bodies (EB) that contain cells from all three embryonic lin...
