| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since human hematogenesis and angiogenesis in the chorionic villi occur earlier than those in the fetus, it is theoretically possible that chorion-derived stem cells move and migrate fetal tissues by circulation system. We found laeverin-positive undifferentiated cells in the umbilical cord blood. Consequently, we planned this study to prove a novel hypothesis that chorion-derived stem cells settle fetal tissues and contribute to organ regeneration as well as development throughout the total life, using laeverin as a stem cell marker.
In this project, we observed laeverin-positive cells increase during pregnancy. We also found the candidate of niche for hematogenesis in the chorion tissues. Our findings will contribute to regulation of stem cell differentiation using ES cells and iPS cells in the future.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は絨毛由来で循環系を介して胎児に移行する幹細胞の候補としてlaeverin陽性細胞を提案している。血中でのlaeverin陽性細胞の陽性率は様々な病態との相関が示唆されており、今後新しい視点からの病態分類を提言できる可能性がある。
