This document discusses stem cell technology in reproduction. It defines different types of stem cells including totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent and progenitor cells. It describes embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, cord blood stem cells and amniotic fluid stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells are discussed. The use of stem cells in neo-oogenesis, testicular and ovarian infertility, tissue engineering of reproductive organs, and animal production is summarized. Key milestones in stem cell research for veterinary reproduction are highlighted. The document concludes that stem cell technology could revolutionize medicine through techniques like preservation of germ lines and stem cell transplantation.

2. Introduction to Stem Cell
➢Undifferentiated cells.
➢Retain the capacity for self-renewal.
➢Can differentiate into specialized cell types

5. Totipotent Pluripotent Multipotent Progenitor
cells
•Embryonic
blastomeres.
•From fertilization
up to 8 cells stage
•Give complete
organism including
extra embryonic
tissue.
•From embryonic
tissue layers;
(ectoderm,
endoderm and
mesoderm).
•Two types:
Embryonic stem
(ES)
Embryonic Germ
(EG)
•Differentiate into
more than 1 type of
specialized cells.
Hematopoietic
stem cells
•Produce terminally
differentiated or
specialized cells.

6. Types of Stem Cell
❖ Embryonic Stem cell (ESC)
❖ Adult Stem Cell (ASC)

9. Cord blood Stem Cell and Amniotic Fluid Stem cell
● 2005 - Cord blood Embryonic Stem cell- Kingston university
● 2007 - Dr. Anthony Atala claimed that a new type of stem cell
had been isolated in amniotic fluid.

10. Induced Pluripotent Stem cell

12. Yamanaka's group successfully transformed human
fibroblasts into iPSCs with the same four pivotal genes,
OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and C-MYC, using a retroviral system.
Thomson and colleagues used a different set of factors,
OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28, using a lentiviral system.

13. Stem Cell and Neo-Oogenesis
Jhonson et al. 2004-Nature
Germline Stem cell from Ovarian surface epithelium.
GSC is inducing Post natal neo folliculogenosis.
In 2005 from bone marrow and cord blood cell.
PGCs/oogonia or PGC-derived undifferentiated cells with GSC characteristics
remain in the postnatal and adult ovary and under certain conditions may
resume mitosis, enter meiosis and give rise to oocytes.
