83 results about "Endoderm" patented technology

Endoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo. The other two layers are the ectoderm (outside layer) and mesoderm (middle layer), with the endoderm being the innermost layer. Cells migrating inward along the archenteron form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm.

Pluripotent stem cells derived without the use of embryos or fetal tissue

This invention provides a method for deriving precursors to pluripotent non-embryonic stem (P-PNES) and pluripotent non-embryonic stem (PNES) cell lines. The present invention involves nuclear transfer of genetic material from a somatic cell into an enucleated, zona pellucida free human ooplastoid having a reduced amount of total cytoplasm. The present invention provides a new source for obtaining human and other animal pluripotent stem cells. The source utilizes as starting materials an oocyte and a somatic cell as the starting materials but does not require the use, creation and/or destruction of embryos or fetal tissue and does not in any way involve creating a cloned being. The oocyte never becomes fertilized and never develops into an embryo. Rather, portions of the oocyte cytoplasm are extracted and combined with the nuclear material of individual mature somatic cells in a manner that precludes embryo formation. Murine, bovine, and human examples of the procedure are demonstrated. Subsequently, the newly constructed P-PNES cells are cultured in vitro and give rise to PNES cells and cell colonies. Methods are described for culturing the P-PNES cells to yield purified PNES cells which have the ability to differentiate into cells derived from mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm germ layers. Methods are described for maintaining and proliferating PNES cells in culture in an undifferentiated state. Methods and results are described for analysis and validation of pluripotency of PNES cells including cell morphology, cell surface markers, pluripotent tumor development in SCID mouse, karyotyping, immortality in in vitro culture.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells into mesodermal lineages

InactiveUS20080038820A1Promotes commitment and survivalGenetic material ingredientsSkeletal/connective tissue cellsProgenitorGerm layer
The present invention provides a method of inducing mesoderm derived cells from pluripotent stem cells. In contrast to methods known in the art that are often designed to replicate in vivo events of mesoderm induction, the present invention provides a unique, yet simple, method whereby pluripotent stem cells are mesodermally primed in the presence of factors that concomitantly inhibit the spontaneous differentiation of endoderm and ectoderm during expansion and suspension steps. Exposure and / or adherence of primed aggregates to a extracellular matrix that promotes the commitment and survival of induced mesoderm progenitors, followed by exposure to various mesoderm associated factors, allows for the subsequent induction of such cells into terminally differentiated lineages, such as cardiomyocytes. End products of this induction system will ultimately provide an unlimited source of mesoderm-derived cell types for therapeutic and pharmacological purposes.

Non-Embryonic Totipotent Blastomere-Like Stem Cells And Methods Therefor

Non-embryonic blastomere-like totipotent stem cells are disclosed. Most preferably, such cells are obtained from various tissues of postnatal mammals (e.g., using tissue biopsied from the mammal), are smaller than 1 μm, have normal karyotype, and do not spontaneously differentiate in serum-free medium without differentiation inhibitors. These non-embryonic blastomere-like totipotent stem cells typically express CD66e, CEA-CAM-1 and telomerase, but do not typically express CD10, SSEA-1, SSEA-3, and SSEA-4. Such blastomere-like totipotent cells can be differentiated into ectodermal, mesodermal, or endodermal tissues, including placental tissues and germ cells. Moreover, when implanted into a mammal, such cells will not be teratogenic.

Homogeneous differentiation of hepatocyte-like cells from embryonic stem cells

InactiveUS20100143313A1Rapid and direct differentiationImprove survivalBiocideHepatocytesLiver morphologyBioartificial liver device
One of the major hurdles of cellular therapies for the treatment of liver failure is the low availability of functional human hepatocytes. Although embryonic stem (ES) cells represent a potential cell source for therapy, current methods for differentiation result in mixed cell populations or low yields of the cells of interest. The present invention provides for a rapid, direct differentiation method that yields a homogeneous population of endoderm-like cells with 95% purity. In one embodiment, mouse ES cells cultured on top of collagen-sandwiched hepatocytes differentiate and proliferate into a uniform and homogeneous cell population of endoderm-like cells. The endoderm-like cell population was positive for Foxa2, Sox17 and AFP, and could further differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells that demonstrate hepatic morphology, functionality, and gene and protein expression. Incorporating the hepatocyte-like cells into a bioartificial liver device to treat fulminant hepatic failure improved animal survival, thereby underscoring the therapeutic potential of these cells.

Sub totipotential stem cell and preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses a method for preparing a population of?human pluripotent stem cells and the application thereof. The preparation of stem cells is characterized by comprising the following steps: CD151<+>, CD31<->, Sox<2+> pluripotent stem cells are separated and collected from human umbilical cord and or placenta tissues; the cells adhere to grow in a culture vessel under a predetermined condition and expand through passage 20 or above to be still stable in gene expression. The population of cells of this invention do not form teratoma after injection into animals. The human pluripotent stem cells highly express CD151, OCT4 and Sox-2 as specific markers of embryonic stem cells, as well as specific markers of epidermic cells, endothelial cells, thrombocytes, dendritic cells, while lack expression of CD31, CD34, CD45 and HLA-II. The pluripotent stem cells are also characterized as being able to adhere to tissue culture plastic and having the potential to differentiate into three germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. These pluripotent stem cells are able to be used as carrier cells of gene therapy and for the treatment of diseases caused by cell damage or cell aging. The present invention provides a method of isolating, purifying and culturally expanding of a population of human pluripotent stem cell for preparing the high purity injection preparation. The preparation of stem cells has a good therapeutic effect on the treatment of diseases caused by cell damage or cell aging in animal and human clinical trials. The preparation also has no toxic side effect and no immune rejection.
