Collaborative work has developed a cell culture system that differentiates human pluripotent stem cells to amniotic ectoderm and surface ectoderm based on cell density. Research conducted by Dr Shota ...
Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic elements present in multiple copies in mammalian genomes. TEs were thought to have little functional relevance but recent studies report roles in biological ...
Surface ectoderm (SE) cells give rise to structures including the epidermis and ectodermal associated appendages such as hair, eye and the mammary gland. In this study, we validate a protocol that ...
A cell aggregation of human pluripotent stem cells and amniotic ectoderm cells generated by the published culture method and mimicking the gastrulation event in human embryos. Gray: nuclei, Cyan: ...
