我在一所农业院校,准备做大型动物iPS。有一个问题想请交各位: - H3 B0 z7 `. m0 k z1 BiPS最大的意义在于规避了伦理学问题,而以动物为模型,即使使用ES受到的质疑不多,iPS的意义何在呢?- k. a/ O S7 B
iPS最适于的是对人的各种组织器官细胞进行研究。6 j" s& h# A3 g1 C
国内外有做大型动物的,但意义大体上是The resulting iPS cell lines more closely resemble human ESC than cells from other species(Miguel Angel Esteban, 8 j( U3 d# l R/ t! ^( QJianyong Xu),既然最终目的仍然是实现对人进行研究,研究动物的意义何在呢? 2 G1 E, j& l; ]& P要研究动物干细胞,也不需要iPS得到,直接使用EC不是方便吗?作者: Helena110 时间: 2009-7-13 17:10
I heard that some people are working on pigs. This is definitely very interesting/ important direction. For example, pig lives longer than mice, making it a better model to follow up long-term effect of stem cell transplanted (cancer?). Moreover, the development program of pig is closer to human. plus, surgery is also easier than small animals. pig is also more productive than monkey.作者: chenks 时间: 2010-6-28 21:10
