Regenerative medicine is being heralded in a similar way as gene therapy was some 15 yr
ago. It is an area of intense excitement and potential, as well as myth and disinformation …

During the past 6 years, considerable advancement has been achieved in experimental
embryology of pigs. This process was mainly generated by the rapidly increasing need for …

To diminish the learning curve associated with using swine as models, Swine in the
Laboratory: Surgery, Anesthesia, Imaging, and Experimental Techniques, Second Edition …

Little progress has been made toward the use of embryonic stem (ES) cells to study and
isolate skeletal muscle progenitors. This is due to the paucity of paraxial mesoderm …

Repair of injured lungs represents a longstanding therapeutic challenge. We show that
human and mouse embryonic lung tissue from the canalicular stage of development (20–22 …

Identification of tissue‐specific renal stem/progenitor cells with nephrogenic potential is a
critical step in developing cell‐based therapies for renal disease. In the human kidney …

Derivation of functional skeletal muscle stem cells from pluripotent cells without genetic
modification has proven elusive. Here we show that teratomas formed in adult skeletal …

With the increasing rate of end-stage renal failure and limited alternatives for its treatment,
stem cell (SC) therapy for kidney injury is urgently needed. Choosing the right SC type is the …

Xenotransplantation of pig tissues has great potential to overcome the shortage of organ
donors. One approach to address the vigorous immune rejection associated with …

Aim: To generate complex surrogate tissue by transplanting 3D scaffolds seeded with
human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) between the liver lobules of severe combined …
