Document Summary
2- pluripotency of fetal germ cells- origin of pluripotency. From lecture 1 research more difficult to interpret) Stem cells are defined by function (can detect these cells only retrospectively - makes. Stem cells do not exhibit tissue-specific function. Reduction in renewal and differentiation potential during commitment. Self-renewal and commitment needs to be balanced. A molecule has to be linked to the cell"s biological function. Theme: pgcs and escs, linkage between germ cells and pluripotency. We will look at the history of stem cell research, and look at primordial germ cells. We will briefly discuss the extracellular signals that maintain the stemness of stem cells. These lecture series are largely based on murine models looking at mouse embryonic. We will talk about human stem cells when they share characteristics with mice. Pluripotent stem cells derived from embryos stem cells. stem cells. Picture: islands are the embryonic stem cells. precise care of escs, start to commit.
