| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Special tequniques and methodologies in the field of Reproductive Biology are introduced. This course is an advansed one of Laboratory Course for Reproductive Biology 1. | |||
| Course Goals | To establish special technology, methodologies, and experimental planning in the field of Reproductive Biology. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Special scientific topics are related to in vitro fertilization of mammalian eggs, embryo culture, embryonic manipulation for nuclear transfer and microinjection, cell culture of pluripotent stem cells and germ cells Technical issues related to cellular reprogramming, embryonic development and gene regulation of early embryonic development are mainly introduced in this program. 1. Germ cell differentiation and maturation (15 weeks: Imai) 2. Molecular biology in fertilization and embryonic development in mammals (15 weeks: Minami). 3. Oocyte maturation and embryonic development in vitro (15 weeks: Yamada) 4. Embryonic stem cells, male germ cells, and regulation of cell differentiation (15 weeks: Imai) 5. Production of genetic modified animals and application to animal breeding (15 weeks: Minami) 6. Efficient production of nuclear transferred animals and mechanisms of nuclear reprogramming (15 weeks: Yamada) 7. A feedback will be informated in this course. |
