Spermatogonia stem cells: A new pluripotent source for repairment in regenerative medicine
Authors
Abstract:
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. ES like cells may have therapeutique application in tissue engineering and treatment for disease because of their ability to differentiation into various cell types. Embryonic stem like cells derived culturing of spermatogonial cells which has self-renewal and differentiation capacity to all three germ layers make them as a new and unlimited source for cell therapy strategies. The perspective of pluripotency and differantiaion ability of ES like cells obtained in mice has clinical application in other species particularly in humans that solves many problems of cell therapy in regenerative medicine. These characteristics propose the therapeutic use of spermatogonial stem cells as a possible alternative source for generation of various cell types that are usful in treatment of degenerative diseases.

Harnessing mechanobiology of human pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine.
Recent advances in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) open new doors for therapeutics of motor neuron (MN)-associated neurodegenerative diseases. However, the MN differentiation process is not yet completely understood. In this Viewpoint, we stress the concept of designing synthetic cell culture surfaces with precisely controlled mechanical properties (such as rigidity) to improve the efficie...

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Because adult cardiomyocytes (CMs) lack the ability to regenerate, malfunctions or significant loss of CMs due to disease or aging can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, and subsequently death. Heart transplantation for patients with end stage heat failure is limited by the number of donor organs available. Cell-based t...

osting by E Abstract Several researchers have reported the derivation of multipotent cells from both mouse and human spermatogonial stem cells. These spermatogonia-derived stem cells show similarities with embryonic stem cells both for phenotype and functionality, indicating that these cells may be a promising alternative source for stem-cell based therapies in regenerative medicine. 2011 Middl...

Among the various species from which induced pluripotent stem cells have been derived, nonhuman primates (NHPs) have a unique role as preclinical models. Their relatedness to humans and similar physiology, including central nervous system, make them ideal for translational studies. We review here the progress made in deriving and characterizing iPS cell lines from different NHP species. We focu...

Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using defined factors has been considered a ground-breaking step towards establishing patient-specific pluripotent stem cells for various applications. The isolation of human embryonic stem (ES) cells set the standard that pluripotent stem cells are attainable as potentially immortal cells for regeneration of many types of tissues. Different ap...
