New cell lines from mouse epiblast share defining features with human embryonic stem cells

PJ Tesar, JG Chenoweth, FA Brook, TJ Davies… - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
The application of human embryonic stem (ES) cells in medicine and biology has an inherent
reliance on understanding the starting cell population. Human ES cells differ from mouse …

The origin and efficient derivation of embryonic stem cells in the mouse

FA Brook, RL Gardner - Proceedings of the National …, 1997 - National Acad Sciences
By explanting tissues isolated microsurgically from implanting strain 129 mouse blastocysts
individually on STO feeder cells we have established that embryonic stem (ES) cells …

[PDF][PDF] Reflections on the biology of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

RL Gardner, FA Brook - The International journal of developmental …, 1997 - ijdb.ehu.es
Remarkably little is known about mammalian embryonic stem (ES) cells despite their very
widespread use in studies on gene disruption and transgenesis. As yet, it is only in the mouse …

Embryonic stem cell-derived tissues are immunogenic but their inherent immune privilege promotes the induction of tolerance

NJ Robertson, FA Brook, RL Gardner… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
Although human embryonic stem (ES) cells may one day provide a renewable source of
tissues for cell replacement therapy (CRT), histoincompatibility remains a significant barrier to …

[HTML][HTML] Directed differentiation of dendritic cells from mouse embryonic stem cells

PJ Fairchild, FA Brook, RL Gardner, L Graca, V Strong… - Current Biology, 2000 - cell.com
Dendritic cells (DCs) are uniquely capable of presenting antigen to naive T cells, either
eliciting immunity [1] or ensuring self-tolerance [2]. This property identifies DCs as potential …

A cell-type-specific abnormality of cell proliferation in mutant (curly tail) mouse embryos developing spinal neural tube defects

AJ Copp, FA Brook, HJ Roberts - Development, 1988 - journals.biologists.com
The mouse mutant curly tail (ct) provides a model system for studies of neurulation mechanisms.
60 % of ct/ct embryos develop spinal neural tube defects (NTD) as a result of delayed …
