Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are indispensable for gene targeting approaches to study gene functions and regulations, the production of animal models for human diseases, and in vitro cell different
The mammalian blastocyst consists of three distinct cell types: epiblast, trophoblast, and primitive endoderm (PrE). Although stem cell lines that retain functional properties of epiblasts or trophobl
Pig embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been considered as an important candidate for preclinical researches on human therapy. However, the lack of understanding of pig pluripotent networks has hampered
Conventional rabbit embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos using methods and culture conditions established for primate ESCs (partial di
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of preimplantation blastocysts. From agricultural and biomedical perspectives, the derivation of stable ESCs from domestic ungulates is
