The Minipig as an Animal Model in Biomedical Stem Cell Research
Original language description
Pigs and miniature pigs are steadily gaining importance as large animal models in the field of regenerative medicine, including stem cell research. With their size, organ capacity, and physiology resembling in several aspects that of humans, pigs are well suited for preclinical experiments and long-term safety studies. In this chapter, we summarize our experience with the isolation and culture of several somatic stem cell populations from fetal and adult pig tissue and briefly review their potential usefulness in future stem cell-based therapies. We also provide protocols for the isolation of fetal porcine neural stem cells (NSCs), adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and epidermal progenitor cells (EPCs) from adult hair follicles.
