Abstract
Dynamic pluripotent stem cell (PSC) states are in vitro adaptations of the pluripotency continuum in vivo. Previous studies have generated a number of PSCs with distinct properties. By modulating the FGF, TGF-β, and WNT pathways, we have derived intermediate PSCs (FTW-PSCs) that are permissive for direct primordial germ cell-like cell (PGC-LC) induction in vitro. Here, we describe the method for derivation and maintenance of mouse and human FTW-PSCs, as well as PGC-LC induction from FTW-PSCs.
