| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To reduce the stress of Muse cellscaused by long time transportation, we tried the newly reported method such as STAP cell induction (acid treatment) during the middle stage of this project. The result was that the Muse cells were not induced toward the germ cell line after the acid treatment, and showed only the cell debris/vestage. Although the Muse cells could tolerate the long time transportation, alubumin-lacked medium and shorter time incubation before injection was required for injection of survided enough numbers of Muse cells without the cell aggregation. Muse cells have originally some genes that spermatogenic cells have, but these genes only are not enough for Muse cells to initiate the differentiation toward the spermatogenic cell line. It is suppoed that some additional genes or supplements such as hormones and vitamines will be required in some period to initiate the differentiation of the Muse cells toward the spermatogenic cell line.
