摘要: Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) offer unprecedented biomedical potential not only in relation to humans but also companion animals, particularly the horse. Despite this, attempts generate bona fide equine embryonic have been unsuccessful. A very limited number of induced PSC lines so far generated from fibroblasts their for directed differentiation into clinically relevant tissues has explored. In this study, we used retroviral vectors pluripotent (iPSCs) with comparatively high efficiency keratinocytes. Expression endogenous markers (OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, NANOG, DNMT3B, and REX1) was effectively restored these cells, which could form vivo several tissue derivatives three germ layers, including functional neurons, keratinized epithelium, cartilage, bone, muscle, respiratory gastric epithelia. Comparative analysis different reprogrammed cell revealed an association between t...
