Pig Epiblast Stem Cells Depend on Activin/Nodal Signaling for Pluripotency and Self-Renewal
8 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Activin/Nodal signaling is required for maintaining pluripotency and self-renewal of mouse epiblast stem cells and human embryonic stem cells (hESC). In this study, we investigated whether this signaling mechanism is also operative in cultured epiblasts derived from Days 10.5-12 pig embryos. Pig epiblast stem cell lines (pEpiSC) were established on mouse feeder layers and medium supplemented with basic fibroblast...
