Domestic cats suffer from a range of inherited genetic diseases, many of which display
similarities with equivalent human conditions. Developing cellular models for these inherited …

A culture system capable of sustaining self-renewal of buffalo embryonic stem (ES) cell-like
cells in an undifferentiated state over a long period of time was developed. Inner cell masses …

Mito-Q is a well-known mitochondria-specific superoxide scavenger. To our knowledge, the
effect of Mito-Q on buffalo oocyte maturation and developmental competency of cloned …

Stem cells present an important tool in livestock assisted reproduction and veterinary
therapeutic field such as tissue engineering. We report for the first time isolation of …

The rabbit is a classical experimental animal species. A major limitation in using rabbits for
biomedical research is the lack of germ-line-competent rabbit embryonic stem cells …

Commonly, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are generated by viral transduction of four
core reprogramming genes, but recent evidences suggest that slightly different combination …

Culture and characterization of fetal derived cells have received particular attention because
of their easy access and possible source of stem cells for the study of development and …

The transcription factors, including OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2, played crucial roles in the
maintenance of self-renewal and pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). They …

Buffalo, a multi-purpose and most valued animal among livestock species called as “Black
Gold” due to its substantial contribution in the agricultural economy, providing milk, meat …

The present study examined the expression profile of buffalo fetal fibroblasts (BFF) used as
a feeder layer for embryonic stem (ES) cell-like cells. The expression of important growth …
