摘要:
Methods for producing stem cell banks, preferably human, which optionally may be transgenic, e.g., comprised of homozygous MHC allele cell lines are provided. These cells are produced preferably from parthenogenic, IVF, or same-species or cross-species nuclear transfer embryos or by de-differentiation of somatic cells by cytoplasm transfer. Methods for using these stem cell banks for producing stem and differentiated cells for therapy, especially acute therapies, and for screening for drugs for disease treatment are also provided.
摘要:
This invention generally relates to methods to differentiate pluripotent stem cells, such as embryonic stem, embryonic germ, or embryo-derived cells, to obtain subpopulations of cells from heterogeneous mixtures of cells wherein the subpopulation of cells possess reduced differentiation potential compared to the original pluripotent stem cells and where the subpopulation is capable of being propagated.
摘要:
This invention generally relates to methods to obtain mammalian cells and tissues with patterns of gene expression similar to that of a developing mammalian embryo or fetus, and the use of such cells and tissues in the treatment of human disease and age-related conditions. More particularly, the invention relates to methods for identifying, expanding in culture, and formulating mammalian pluripotent stem cells and differentiated cells that differ from cells in the adult human in their pattern of gene expression, and therefore offer unique characteristics that provide novel therapeutic strategies in the treatment of degenerative disease.

摘要:
The invention relates to assays for screening growth factors, adhesion molecules, immunostimulatory molecules, extracellular matrix components and other materials, alone or in combination, simultaneously or temporally, for the ability to induce directed differentiation of pluripotent and multipotent stem cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the culture of animal pluripotent stem cells and their differentiated progeny cells, tissues, and organs, and nonhuman animal embryos and fetuses.
