在一项新的研究中,来自英国弗朗西斯-克里克研究所、爱丁堡大学和德国马克斯-德尔布吕克分子医学中心的研究人员揭示了哺乳动物胚胎中形成脊髓、肌肉和骨组织的细胞。这一发现为在实验室中利用干细胞产生这些组织奠定基础,并且可能为研究运动神经元疾病和肌营养不良症等退行性疾病提供新的方法。相关研究结果在线发表在Developmental Cell期刊上,论文标题为“ In a new study, researchers from the Francis-Crick Institute in the UK, the University of Edinburgh and the Max-Delbrück Molecular Medical Center in Germany revealed cells that form spinal cord, muscle and bone tissue in mammalian embryos. This finding paves the way for the use of stem cells in the laboratory to create these tissues and may provide new ways to study degenerative diseases such as motor neuron disease and muscular dystrophy.
