近日,一项刊登在国际杂志Cell Reports上的研究报告中,来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员通过研究发现,将参与机体发育的信号分子(特殊蛋白)同人类干细胞进行合适混合就能够诱导人类干细胞成为体节样(somites)的细胞,在发育的胚胎中,这些体节细胞就能够产生骨骼肌、骨质组织以及软骨组织;在实验室中,这些在培养皿中生长的体节细胞就有潜力生长成为上述类型的细胞。 In a recent study published in the International Journal Cell Reports, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, through the study found that the appropriate combination of signaling molecules (special proteins) involved in body development and human stem cells can induce human stem cells Somites become cells that, in the developing embryo, are capable of producing skeletal muscle, bone tissue, and cartilage tissue; in the laboratory, these cells that grow in the dish have The potential to grow into cells of the above type.
