The development of techniques to culture embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in a pluripotent
state has been crucial for the manipulation and utilization of this special cell population
for understanding basic biological questions, as well as their use in practical applications
such as regenerative medicine and toxicology. The fi rst mammalian ESC lines
were derived from the mouse blastocyst 3 decades ago by two independent groups
(Evans and Kaufman 1981; Martin 1981). The development of specifi c methods for the
derivation and subsequent maintenance of ESCs in specifi c media conditions allowed
enquiry into mechanisms of cell pluripotency, growth, diff erentiation, degeneration
and regeneration, but also their practical application in toxicology. Some time later, the
development of techniques to successfully isolate and maintain human ESCs derived
from inner mass cells (ICM; (Bongso, et al. 1994; Thomson, et al. 1998)) opened up new
practical applications in regenerative medicine in addition to probing basic biological
mechanisms.
This book draws together reviews on the historical development of techniques, and
recent advances in, the derivation, culture, maintenance and imaging of ESCs, as well
as reviews on recent advances in genetic manipulation and reprogramming of ESCs
for basic biological experimentation, as well as their application for the development
of transgenic/chimeric mice and use in toxicological and drug discovery studies. In
the fi rst section of the book, ‘Methods for Derivation and Maintenance of Embryonic
Stem Cell Pluripotency’, chapters by Manganelli et al. and Fagundez et al. provide an
excellent historical overview of the technological advances that led to the successful
maintenance of mouse and human ESCs in culture. Zhang et al. next provide detailed
methodology for the isolation and dissociation of ICM for the derivation of ESCs, and
their culture, passage, freezing, thawing, karyotyping and diff erentiation into embryoid
bodies (EBs) or teratoma, as well as techniques involved in chimeric mouse
production. Techniques for the preservation of ESCs are reviewed by He and includes
detailed descriptions of cryopreservation at cryogenic temperatures (slow-freezing,
conventional vitrifi cation and low-cryoprotective agent vitrifi cation) prior to discussing
lyopreservation, or dry preservation at ambient temperature by evaporative drying
or freeze-drying. He also discusses biophysical considerations of cell preservation.
The next 5 chapters review recent advances in the development of techniques to allow
more effi cient and scalable culture of ESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
These advances have been driven in large part by the desire to eliminate non-human
cells and materials, thereby avoiding issues including immunogenicity, complex purifi
cation, heterogeneous environments, batch-to-batch (or source-to-source) variation
in materials isolated from tissues, and presence of xenogenetic compounds. The
development of these techniques has been within the constraints that ESC self-renewal
and diff erentiation are known to be regulated via interactions with neighboring cells,
ECM components, soluble signaling factors, and the physicochemical environment.
The development of these new technologies has allowed greater control over material
properties and tissue responses. The fi rst of these chapters by D’Andrea Markert et
al. describe the topographical, mechanical and chemical cues that cells receive, and
the use of topographically and chemically modifi ed surfaces for expansion or diff erentiation
of ECSs. Haque et al. next describe recent developments in the construction
of novel ECM using genetically engineered adhesion molecules and growth factors
aimed at mimicking the regulatory characteristics of natural ECM and growth factors
in the extracellular microenvironment. Sakuragi and Ito then describe the culture of
ESCs on chemically fi xed feeder cells, the use of synthetic biomaterials for ESC maintenance
and EB formation and end with a description of developments in thermoresponsible
polymers that allow for temperature dependent ESC detachment. Mashayekhana
and Miyazakib describe how cell fate is controlled by chemical modifi cations to
the substrate, by geometric modifi cation and by modifi cation of material mechanics.
These authors end by describing strategies for culture surface design using glucosedisplaying
dendrimer substrates to control the morphology and function of ESCs. A
chapter on the use of novel substrates for cell culture by Wang and Zhang emphasizes
the use of three-dimensional silk fi broin scaff olds and their application to ESC culture
and diff erentiation .....
