Record 1 2017-12-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

... human embryonic germ(EG) cells share many of the characteristics of human stem cells... but differ in significant ways. Human EG cells are derived from the primordial germ cells which occur in a specific part of the embryo/fetus called the gonadal ridge, and which normally develop into mature gametes(eggs and sperm). Gearhart and his collaborators devised methods for growing pluripotent cells derived from human EG cells.

Domaine(s)
  • Cytologie
CONT

[...] l'équipe de John Gearhart, de l'hôpital John-Hopkins de Baltimore, décrivait une autre lignée de cellules souches humaines, les cellules germinales primitives (EG), baptisées «embryonic germ cells (EG)» car elle était obtenue à partir de cellules germinales, destinées à former des gonades de fœtus de 5 à 9 semaines obtenus par avortements thérapeutiques. Ces deux types de cellules peuvent être cultivées indéfiniment et fournissent donc un stock de cellules pluripotentes exploitables.

Record 2 2014-07-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
DEF

The ability to develop into various but not necessarily all types of tissues.

CONT

Embryonic stem cells(from the inner mass of blastocysts), embryonic germ cells(primordial cells of the gonadal ridge), and the mesenchymal stem cells of the bone marrow possess pluripotency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cytologie
DEF

Capacité d’une cellule à se différencier en plusieurs types de cellules qui composent l’organisme.

OBS

Par exemple, les cellules souches de la moelle osseuse sont des cellules pluripotentes, capables de se différencier pour donner naissance à tous les types de cellules sanguines.

Record 3 2004-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Embryology
  • The Genitals
CONT

An embryonic germ cell is derived from fetal tissue. Specifically, they are isolated from the primordial germ cells of the gonadal ridge of the 5 to 10 week fetus. Later in development, the gonadal ridge develops into the testes or ovaries and the primordial germ cells give rise to eggs or sperm.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Embryologie
  • Organes génitaux
CONT

Les gonades se forment à partir des crêtes génitales; ces dernières migrent dans le coelome situé au centre des futurs reins (mésonéphros). Même si le sexe de l'embryon est déjà terminé au moment de la fécondation (à cause des chromosomes sexuels), les cellules des crêtes génitales ne se différencient en testicules et en ovaires qu'à partir de la fin de la huitième semaine du développement embryonnaire.
