Embryonic germ (EG) cells are undifferentiated stem isolated from cultured primordial (PGC). To date, EG have been only in the mouse. Murine share several characteristics with embryonic (ES) cells, including morphology, pluripotency, and capacity for germline transmission. We report here isolation of porcine cells. PGC collected Day 24 or 25 embryos were on mitotically inactivated murine fibroblasts. Four cell lines repeated subculture PGC. Porcine morphologically resembled ES consistently...

Abstract Ensuring boar sperm quality before insemination is crucial for maximizing field fertility and efficient pig production. The computer-assisted analysis (CASA) fluorescence probes combined with flow cytometry (FC) are commonly used techniques evaluating kinematics functions, closely related to animal fertility. However, their high cost complex operations make it challenging apply them in laboratories or breeding farms limited resources. Here, our aim was develop a new protocol using...

Apoptosis occurs frequently for blastocysts cultured in vitro, where conditions are suboptimal to those found the natural environment. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays an important role preventing apoptosis early development of embryo, as well progressive regulation organ development. We hypothesize that IGF-1 and its dephosphorylated binding protein (IGFBP-1) may be able improve embryo culture with associated reduced cell death, resultant increase total number could chances...

We optimized the p-side emission device configuration of photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) to facilitate easier chip process and wafer level testing as well feasibility lasing at shorter wavelength. Typically, in order obtain uniformly distributed current for larger area PCSELs, output is designed through n-side window due low hole mobility thin cladding layer. However, substrate epi-layers have be isolated before test each single die on wafer, which compromised advantage...
