【Title】Unlocking the mysteries of pregnancy with stem cells
幹細胞を駆使して妊娠の謎に迫る
【Speaker】胎盤発生分野 岡江 寛明 教授
Department of Trophoblast Research
Professor Hiroaki Okae
【Abstract】
The placenta is essential for mammalian development, and its abnormalities can cause various pregnancy complications. Despite its importance, our current knowledge of placental development is very limited compared to other organs, especially in humans. To overcome this problem, we have established a culture system of human trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), paving the way for in vitro studies of human placental development and function. Using human TSCs and other cutting-edge stem cell technologies, we are now studying human implantation, pregnancy complications, and placental evolution. In this talk, I will present our recent study on pregnancy complications and demonstrate the utility of disease-specific human TSCs. I will also talk about our ongoing attempt to decipher the evolutionary relationship between human and mouse trophoblast cells.
