Gametogenesis, Early Embryo Development and Stem Cell Derivation by Tiziana A.L. Brevini, Georgia Pennarossa - New York Springer International Publishing 2013 - 1 recurso en línea (XI, 66 p.) 48 il., 16 il. col. - SpringerBriefs in Stem Cells 2192-8118 . - SpringerBriefs in Stem Cells .

This Brief offers a concise, handy overview of the main concepts related to Embryology, revisited through the novel concepts that are applied daily in stem cell research and cell therapy oriented investigations. isÂed on three main areas: Âhe process involved in female gamete differentiation and maturation. The main aspects related to cell biology will be covered and an overview of the epigenetic regulation of gametogenesis will be presented. Âarly stages of embryo development with a careful analysis of the regulatory mechanisms driving cleavage, polarization and genome activation. -Stem cell and gametogenesis. The use of the oocyte as a possible source for the derivation of stem cell lines is discussed and depicted as a powerful tool to investigate oocyte potency and asymmetric imprinting. The potential biologicalÂplications are evaluated and use of stem cells to derive oocytesÂpresented.Â
