Human embryonic stem cell lines derived from single blastomeres
@article{Klimanskaya2006HumanES, title={Human embryonic stem cell lines derived from single blastomeres}, author={Irina V. Klimanskaya and Young Gie Chung and Sandy Becker and Shijiang Lu and Robert Lanza}, journal={Nature}, year={2006}, volume={444}, pages={481-485} }
The derivation of human embryonic stem (hES) cells currently requires the destruction of ex utero embryos. A previous study in mice indicates that it might be possible to generate embryonic stem (ES) cells using a single-cell biopsy similar to that used in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which does not interfere with the embryo’s developmental potential. By growing the single blastomere overnight, the resulting cells could be used for both genetic testing and stem cell derivation…

Findings demonstrate that the future production of human embryonic stem cell lines for therapeutic use is possible with the use of donated gametes, and one of these cell lines has been shown to stain positive for alkaline phosphatase and stage-specific embryonic antigen (SSEA)-4 and negative for SSEA-1, express telomerase activity, and produce hCG when allowed to differentiate.

It is shown that the transcription factor Cdx2 is expressed in the nuclei of cells derived from the late-d dividing but not the first-dividing blastomere of two-cell embryos and, by lineage tracing and RNA interference knock-down experiments, that this lagging cell is the precursor of trophectoderm.
