| Research Abstract |
Using animal cap cells, which have pluripotency like ES and iPS cells, we tried to create overall structure of vertebrate embryo. First, we developed new method to create region having Spemann organizer activity by combination of the BCNE and Nieuwkoop centers. Then, we showed that this induced organizer enabled animal cap explants to generate anteroposterior axis formation.
