Blastocyst complementation: current progress and future directions in xenogeneic organogenesis

Abstract excerpt

The generation of organs derived from pluripotent stem cells can be achieved in vivo through the blastocyst complementation technique. This method is based on the introduction of pluripotent stem cells into organogenesis-disabled pre-implantation embryos, where environmental signals instruct donor cells to colonize the vacant niche and to develop into the missing organ. When applied interspecies, this approach...
