Wnt Inhibition Safeguards Porcine Embryonic Stem Cells From the Acquisition of Extraembryonic Endoderm Cell Fates
10 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Porcine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are excellent models for exploring embryogenesis, producing genetically enhanced farm animals, and improving breeding. Various chemicals have been applied to generate porcine ESCs from embryos, which differ from mouse and human ESC derivation. Wnt inhibitors XAV939 or IWR1 are required to isolate and maintain porcine ESCs. How Wnt inhibitors specify porcine ESC fate decisions...
