Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation Toward Regional Specific Neural Precursors
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are self-renewing pluripotent cells that have the capacity to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types. This potentiality represents a promising source to overcome many human diseases by providing an unlimited supply of all cell types, including cells with neural characteristics. Therefore, this review summarizes early neural development and the potenti...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Regional Specific Neural Precursors in Chemically Defined Medium Conditions
BACKGROUND Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) provide a unique model to study early events in human development. The hESC-derived cells can potentially be used to replace or restore different tissues including neuronal that have been damaged by disease or injury. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The cells of two different hESC lines were converted to neural rosettes using adherent and chemic...
متن کاملTransition toward Human Cytomegalovirus Susceptibility in Early Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Neural Precursors.
Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with neurodevelopmental disabilities. To dissect the earliest events of infection in the developing human brain, we studied HCMV infection during controlled differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into neural precursors. We traced a transition from viral restriction in hESC, mediated by a block in viral binding, toward...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell into Insulin-Secreting Cell
Purpose: Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into Insulin secreting endocrine cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, Royan B1 mouse embryonic stem cell (derived from C57BL/6 mouse) were used. In directed differentiation method, embryonicstem cells after embryoid bodies formation were differentiated into insulin secreting cells. Nestin positive cells were obtained after culture ...
متن کاملExpression of Endoderm and Hepatic Specific Genes after in vitro Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Background: Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), which are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocysts, have been considered to be pluripotent cells. In this study we examine the differentiating potential of hESC into hepatocytes by characterization of the expression of endoderm and liver-specific genes. Methods: hESC were cultivated in suspension to form aggregates, the embryoid bodies. ...
