BMP4 promotes SSEA‐1+ hUC ‐MSC differentiation into male germ‐like cells in vitro
13 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have demonstrated that primordial germ cells (PGC) can be differentiated from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in vitro. Nevertheless, efficiencies were low and unstable. Here, whether hUC-MSCs can be induced to differentiate into germ-like cells with the aid of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP4) was investigated. MATERIALS AND...
