Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at understanding the mechanism of human germ-cell development and promoting the in vitro reconstitution of human germ-cell development, using knowledges obtained from mice and cynomolgus monkeys as models and from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-based in vitro systems. The key achievements include the elucidation of the mechanism for the female germ-cell sex determination in mice, in vitro reconstitution of entire male germ-cell development from PSCs in mice, elucidation of the X-chromosome dosage compensation program during the development of cynomolgus monkeys, elucidation of the ontogeny of the gonadal somatic cells in mice and monkeys, establishment of a method for long-term in vitro expansion of human primordial germ cell-like cells (hPGCLCs), and induction of human early oocyte-like cells from hiPSCs.
