However, despite widespread recognition of the importance of public debate on embryo research, it remains unclear how patients who have undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) perceive this change in the guidelines. Three focus group interviews were conducted with IVF/ICSI patients to understand their opinions on extending the in vitro culture of human embryos beyond 14 days. Thematic analysis revealed a primarily favorable attitude toward the extension of in vitro embryo culture, identifying six reasons for this positive perspective. However, two reasons for negative attitudes were identified, along with some concerns that need to be addressed. To facilitate an open discussion, the following suggestions were made to the government and scientific community. The government and scientific community should provide sufficient knowledge to IVF/ICSI patients about research before discussions. It's important to consider diverse views on embryo models, including distrust and resistance. Ensuring IVF/ICSI patients' psychological safety is essential. “Public conversations” with citizens, including IVF/ICSI patients, should be promoted, and their opinions should be considered as part of a broader public spectrum.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20895,"journal":{"name":"Regenerative Therapy","volume":"26 ","pages":"Pages 831-836"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352320424001664/pdfft?md5=cb2954e50dcb6360aac3c414c5ff6288&pid=1-s2.0-S2352320424001664-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional method for obtaining NCCs involves inducing them from stem cells like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), followed by a long-term passage or purification using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) arises from inadequate insulin production and is treated with insulin replacement therapy.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are particularly advantageous for generating IPCs.

We aim to construct superior differentiation conditions employing polyethersulfone (PES)/Fish gelatin scaffolds to differentiate Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) to IPCs. In this study, the PES/fish gelatin scaffold (3D) was manufactured by electrospinning, and then its biocompatibility and non-toxicity were investigated by MTT assay. After that, scaffold-supportive effects on WJ-MSCs differentiation to IPCs were studied at the gene and protein levels. After exposure to the differentiation media, 2D and 3D (PES/Fish gelatin) cultured cells were slowly aggregated and developed spherical-shaped clusters. The viability of cells was found to be comparable in both 2D and 3D cultures. The gene expression analysis showed that efficiency of differentiation was more elevated in 3D culture. Additionally, ELISA results indicated that C-peptide and insulin release were more significant in 3D than in 2D culture.
