Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation01:10

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

5.3K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

4.8K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Adult Stem Cells

30.4K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Embryonic Stem Cells

28.9K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Gastrulation01:56

Gastrulation

57.7K
Gastrulation establishes the three primary tissues of an embryo: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This developmental process relies on a series of intricate cellular movements, which in humans transforms a flat, “bilaminar disc” composed of two cell sheets into a three-tiered structure. In the resulting embryo, the endoderm serves as the bottom layer, and stacked directly above it is the intermediate mesoderm, and then the uppermost ectoderm. Respectively, these tissue strata...

Area of Science:

  • Stem cell biology
  • Tissue engineering
  • Oral biology

Background:

  • Pluripotent stem cells offer potential for regenerative medicine.
  • Understanding differentiation cues is vital for directed cell fate determination.
  • The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a key role in tissue development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if extracellular matrix (ECM) components can induce oral epithelial differentiation from pluripotent stem cells.
  • To identify specific matrix conditions that promote oral epithelial lineage development.
  • To assess the role of 2D and 3D culture environments in this differentiation process.

Main Methods:

  • Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were cultured on various matrices (gelatin, laminin, synthesized ECM).
  • Differentiation was assessed using microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and flow cytometry.
  • Organotypic 3D cultures with oral fibroblasts in collagen were utilized for histological and immunohistochemical analysis.

Main Results:

  • ECM from oral fibroblasts or keratinocytes induced stratified epithelial phenotype markers in 2D cultures.
  • 3D cultures showed both epithelial-like and mesenchymal-like cell populations.
  • Oral fibroblast-populated 3D collagen matrices were essential for oral epithelial differentiation and maturation.

Conclusions:

  • Extracellular matrix components provide instructive cues for oral epithelial differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.
  • A combination of specific ECM and 3D microenvironments is necessary for generating mature oral epithelia.
  • This study demonstrates a matrix-guided approach for stem cell-based oral tissue engineering.
