This is the news report in Chinese:
全能干细胞是指具有全部分化潜能,能分化成所有胚内和胚外组织和器官的干细胞。清华大学药学院院长丁胜教授及其团队首次发现了能在体外定向诱导和稳定培养出全能干细胞的药物组合,相关研究已于21日在线发表在英国《自然》杂志上。
研究团队选择并筛选了数千个小分子药物组合,通过多轮分析最终确定了三种小分子的组合——TAW鸡尾酒药物组合,可将小鼠多能干细胞诱导成具有全能特性的干细胞。TAW中的每个字母代表一个可调节特定细胞命运的分子,新研究发现了它们诱导全能干细胞的联合作用。
研究团队分别在体外和小鼠早期胚胎中测试了经TAW诱导后干细胞的分化潜力,发现这些细胞不仅在培养皿中表现出具备全能干细胞的特点,而且在体内还可分化成胚内和胚外谱系,具备发育成胎儿和周围卵黄囊和胎盘的潜力。
Why is Korea ranking so high?there is another very interesting update. in first 6 months of 2022, Chinese IPOs in mainland raised 2X more capital than wall street. and 80% investment were in high tech/semiconductor. China has surpassed USA for the very first time. this is very significant news as global investors shows more faith in Chinese progress/development.
China's Academy of Sciences is the world's leading institution in chemistry, physical science, Earth & environmental sciences, and other fields of research. China needs to catch up in life sciences, however.Wow! In the annual Nature Index (which tracks author affiliations in research articles across high-quality science journals) the 31 fastest-rising institutions last year were ALL in China!
Science, schmience. Get back to us when China leads in the important fields, like gender studies, critical theory and interpretive dance!
this is truly a historic development. scientists are really working hard to resurrected some ancient extinct animals. for example wholly Mammoth.
