Abstract:
The use of islets isolated from the human fetal pancreas may provide a source of transplantable tissue with the potential to reverse diabetes. Further research is required before there is enough knowledge of the function of these islets to enable their successful transplantation to humans. Chapter 1 Experiments on fetal pancreas are limited by the paucity and irregularity of the supply of donor tissue. Therefore, a human fetal pancreatic B—cell line would be of considerable use in the better understanding of this potential source of transplantable tissue. In chapter 1 of this thesis, succe

Abstract:
Specification of a germ cell lineage and appropriate maturation are essential for the transfer of genetic information from one generation to the next. Germ cells form from pluripotent precursor cells that migrate into the gonadal ridge and undergo commitment to either the female or male lineage. In the fetal ovary, germ cells enter meiotic prophase I, then arrest at the diplotene stage; in the testis germ cells do not begin meiosis until puberty. Abnormal differentiation of germ cells can result in malignant transformation. Somatic cells play a key role in modulating the developmental fate of

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is one of the most important supplements for cell culture, and is a rich source of both defined and unknown factors required for proper cell growth.

Three factors with different effects on erythropoiesis were isolated and identified with the combination of several chromatographic techniques.

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are important determinants of self-nonself immune recognition. HLA-G, uniquely expressed in the placenta, is believed to be key to fetus-induced immune tolerance during pregnancy. The tissue-specific expression of HLA-G, however, remains poorly understood. Using a Massively Parallel Reporter Assay (MPRA), we discovered a 121 bp sequence 12 kb upstream of HLA-G with enhancer activity, Enhancer L. Strikingly, deletion of Enhancer L using a CRISPR/Cas9 dual guide approach resulted in complete ablation of HLA-G expression in a trophoblast cell line. This finding was

In most mammalian species, all oogonia cease mitotic proliferation and enter meiosis in fetal ovaries. Furthermore, more than half of the maximum number of germ cells is eliminated from ovaries by neonatal life, thus limiting the oocyte reserve for reproduction. The cause or mechanism of this female germ cell loss remains largely unknown. A major loss occurs in the oocytes which reach the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase, suggesting that oocytes with meiotic or recombination errors may be eliminated by a checkpoint mechanism.

Abstract:
During gonad development and fetal life, the germ cells (GC) undergo a range of different developmental processes necessary for correct postnatal gametogenesis and the production of the next generation. If these fetal events are disrupted by genetic or environmental factors, there could be severe consequences that may not present until adulthood. This is of particular importance in relation to human testicular GC tumours (TGCT), the most common cancer of young men, as TGCT is thought to arise from fetal GCs that have failed to differentiate normally during development and thus persist into adu

Abstract:
<p>The symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur due to degeneration of dopamine neurons in substantia nigra. It has been demonstrated that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor when it comes to protect and enhance survival of dopamine neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate short- and long-term effects of GDNF on survival and nerve fiber outgrowth of dopamine cells and astrocytic migration in mouse fetal ventral mesencephalic (VM) tissue. Primary tissue cultures were made of mouse fetal VM tissue and evalu
