Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic stem cell lines from human blastocysts: somatic differentiation in vitro.
TL;DR: The derivation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells from human blastocysts is described, providing a model to study early human embryology, an investigational tool for discovery of novel growth factors and medicines, and a potential source of cells for use in transplantation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human feeders support prolonged undifferentiated growth of human inner cell masses and embryonic stem cells.
TL;DR: It is shown that human fetal and adult fibroblast feeders support prolonged undifferentiated HES cell growth of existing cell lines and are superior to cell-free matrices supplemented with human or MEF feeder–conditioned medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Transcriptome Profile of Human Embryonic Stem Cells as Defined by SAGE
TL;DR: The overlapping similarities and differences in gene expression profiles of human and mouse ES cells provide a foundation for a detailed and concerted dissection of the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing their pluripotency, directed differentiation into specific cell types, and extended ability for self‐renewal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of adult mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the fatty tissue into cardiomyocytes.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that adult mesenchymal stem cells isolated from fatty tissue can be chemically transformed into cardiomyocytes and can potentially be a source of autologous cells for myocardial repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Evaluation of Various Human Feeders for Prolonged Undifferentiated Growth of Human Embryonic Stem Cells
TL;DR: It is reported that two adult skin fibroblast cell lines established in‐house from abdominal skin biopsies supported prolonged undifferentiated hES cell growth for over 30 weekly passages in culture.
