In vitro experiments used
human colon carcinoma cells with and without MMP9 and mouse
embryonic fibroblasts, which are connective tissue cells that make the extracellular matrix and collagen and play an important role in tissue repair.
Expanding from their previous studies with mice, the researchers first established that under specific conditions, culturing
human embryonic stem cells with
fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) leads to neural differentiation particular to the midbrain / hindbrain region — the location of the cerebellum — within three weeks, and the expression of markers for the cerebellar plate neuroepithelium — the part of the developing nervous system specific for the cerebellum — within five.
Human embryonic stem cells derived from affected embryos during a pre-implantation diagnostic (PGD), as well as the conversion of somatic cells, such as skin
fibroblasts, into induced pluripotent stem cells by genetic manipulation, offer the unique opportunity to have access to a large spectrum of disease - specific cell models.
It has recently been demonstrated that mouse and
human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into an
embryonic stem cell - like state by introducing combinations of four transcription factors.

With current methodologies, mouse

human iPS cells.
But initial experiments on
human fibroblasts from three sources — fetal heart cells,
embryonic stem cells and neonatal skin cells — revealed that the GMT combination alone was not sufficient.
