Parthenotes may represent an alternate ethical source of stem cells, once biological
differences between parthenotes and embryos can be understood. In this study, we …

Purposes Clinical application of human embryonic stem cells will be possible, when cell
lines are created under xeno-free and defined conditions. We aimed to establish …

We conducted a cytogenetic study of bovine parthenotes derived from oocytes matured and
cultured in vitro. In vitro maturation was carried out by culturing follicular oocytes for 24 h in …

While human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold tremendous therapeutic potential, they
also create societal and ethical dilemmas. Adult and placental stem cells represent two …

Parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells have been obtained in mouse and in primates.
However, it would be desirable to have an alternative experimental model that could be …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells derived from mammalian embryos have the ability to form any
terminally differentiated cell of the body. We herein describe production of parthenogenetic …

BACKGROUND We previously established parthenogenetic mouse embryonic stem cells
(ESCs) and this study was subsequently conducted for elucidating the influence of oocyte …

The generation of embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines from parthenogenetically activated
oocytes can provide transplantable cells, which are immunocompatible for the oocyte …

Parthenogenetic activation of the mammalian oocyte constitutes an essential step to a
number of oocyte-or embryo-related technologies. Mammalian parthenotes are useful tools …

Parthenogenesis is the process by which an oocyte develops into an embryo without being
fertilized by a spermatozoon. Although such embryos lack the potential to develop to full …
