چکیده

In mammals, the specification of GC begins during cleavage; GC first appears near the gut and further migrates to the developing gonads. The lineage of GC is called germ line. They are unique cells, which undergo cell division of two types, mitosis and meiosis, in contrast to somatic cells of mammal’s body, which only divide by mitosis. Accordingly to Fig. 2 following further differentiation GC can be transformed into mature gamete, either eggs or sperm (Adams & McLaren, 2002). There is growing evidence for effects of environmental

P-50: Elongating and Elongated Spermatids Manufactured In Vitro from Non-Human Primate Pluripotent Stem Cells

Background: We have recently shown that human embryonic (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into advanced spermatogenic cells including round spermatids by in vitro culture (Easley et al., Direct differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into haploid spermatogenic cells. Cell Reports 2, 440-446 2012) and also, in collaboration, that rhesus spermatogonial ...

In Vitro Production of Germ Cells from Stem Cells: Hypes and Hopes

Several lines of evidence have reported that mouse ESCs can successfully differentiate into primordial germ cells (PGC) as well as into mature male and female gametes. Human ESCs and adult stem cells (ASCs) can also differentiate into PGCs. Differentiation of ESCs into germ cells of various stages seems to be a spontaneous and quick process, probably due to the nature of ESCs themselves and the...

Spermatogonia stem cells: A new pluripotent source for repairment in regenerative medicine

Recently new reports have proved the pluripotency of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) derived from male gonad. This pluripotent stem cells resembled Embryonic stem cells recognized as Embryonic Stem like cells (ES like cells). ES like cells forms sharp edge colonies that are immunopositive to pluripotency markers and have differentiation capacity to Ectodermal, Mesodermal and Endodermal layers....

The Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Rat Primordial Germ Cells Reprogramming and Induction into Pluripotent State

 Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are unipotent precursors of the gametes. PGCs can give rise to a type of pluripotent stem cells in vitro that are called embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs can also acquire such pluripotency in vivo and generate teratomas. Under specific culture conditions, PGCs can be reprogrammed to embryonic germ cells which are capable of expression of key pluripotency marker...

In Vitro Gamete Differentiation from Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Promising Therapy for Infertility.

Generation of gametes derived in vitro from pluripotent stem cells holds promising prospects for future reproductive applications. Indeed, it provides information on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying germ cell (GC) development and could offer a new potential treatment for infertility. Great progress has been made in derivation of gametes from embryonic stem cells, despite ethical iss...
