background: since embryonic stem (es) cells have the dual ability to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into multiple tissue types, es cells could potentially provide an unlimited cell supply for human transplantation. objective: in order to study the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (mes) cells, they were cultured in suspension by using es media without leukemia inhibitory facto...

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate fibroblast co-culture and Activin A on in vitro maturation and fertilization of mouse preantral follicles. Methods: The ovaries from 12-14-day-old mice were dissected, and 120-150 μm preantral follicles were cultured individually in α-MEM as based medium for 12 days. A total number of 456 follicles were cultured in four conditions: (i) base mediu...

To find a suitable feeder layer is important for successful culture conditions of bovine embryonic stem cell-like cells. In this study, expression of pluripotency-related genes OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG in bovine embryonic stem cell-like cells on mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder layers at 1-5 passages were monitored in order to identify the possible reason that bovine embryonic stem cell-like cells...

introduction: this study was started to improve in vitro blastocyst development and avoiding of blastocyst collapsment (no visibie cavity, returning of hatching blastocyst into zona pellucida, and tendency to degeneration). materials and methods: 24hrs one - cell mouse embryos were recovered from positive plug females and cultured in following canditions: experiments 1,2: during first 48hrs nmr...

Cell culture using a 3D method provides Various cell strategies have been developed synthetic or biological materials; most existing publications use many reagents. Bioscaffold from mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) enhances attachment, interaction, and production of growth factors. Since bioscaffolds could maintain stimulate pluripotency stem cells, we conducted this study to prove bioscaffold ...

this study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. one-cell mouse embryos were obtained from nmrimice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 iu equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg)followed 48 hrs later by 5 iu human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg). mouse embryonic fibrobla...
