The regulation of pig theca cell steroidogenesis was studied by the development of a
physiological serum-free culture system, which was subsequently extended to investigate …

Stem cell researchers in the United States continue to face an uncertain future, because of
the changing federal guidelines governing this research, the restrictive patent situation …

Recent success in the derivation of haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) from mouse via
parthenogenesis and androgenesis has enabled genetic screening in mammalian cells and …

Recent studies have reported that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from mice and
humans can differentiate into primordial germ cells. However, whether iPS cells are capable …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related dementia characterized by
progressive neuronal loss. However, the molecular mechanisms for the neuronal loss is still …

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) holds great promise to regenerative
medicine. However, before this technology can be applied for clinical purpose, the issues of …

Avian species are important model animals for developmental biology and disease
research. However, unlike in mice, where clonal lines of pluripotent stem cells have enabled …

Objectives Previous studies have demonstrated that mouse‐and human‐induced pluripotent
stem (i PS) cells can differentiate into primordial germ cells in vitro. However, up to now it is …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have extensive self-
renewal capacity and the potential to differentiate into all tissue-specific cell lineages …
