But just how close adult and reprogrammed stem cells can come to matching the capabilities of embryonic stem cells has become a contentious question in the debate over whether the federal government should continue funding research on embryonic lines.

In one promising approach, cellular reprogramming, stem cells can be generated by fusing adult skin cells with embryonic stem cells from existing cell lines.

During the last decade, some researchers have claimed that primordial follicles in adult mouse ovaries turn over and that females use adult germ - line stem cells to constantly resupply the follicle pool and sustain ovulation.

L: We use adult stem cells, and we use the human embryonic cell lines that the government has already approved.

Recent studies have shown how to reprogram adult cells into non-embryonic stem cell lines called induced pluripotent stem cells — «pluripotent» meaning that they could give rise to almost any category of cell.

First, a hair follicle contains epithelial cells — a cell type that lines the body's vessels and cavities — as well as a specific kind of adult stem cell called dermal papillae.

During the next five years, KOMP2 will transform the knockout mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into adult mice for 2,500 lines of well - characterized knockout mice strains, and IMPC will create about 2,500 additional knockout mouse strains.

My post-doctoral work on the identification of genes required for normal germ line development and fertility led to the discovery that the germ line is exquisitely sensitive to mutations in components of the mitotic spindle that have the potential to lead to aneuploidy — this sensitivity may also extend to embryonic and adult stem cells.

Reprogramming adult cells to function like embryonic stem cells is one way researchers hope to create patient - specific cell lines to regenerate tissue or to study specific diseases in the laboratory.
