A practical approach for the stable isolation and cultivation of chicken gonadal primordial germ cells with mitotically inactivated STO feeder cells.
Article in Animal bioscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveEstablishing chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) in vitro is critical for producing genetically modified (GM) chickens. Efficient and reliable isolation and cultivation of PGCs remain significant challenges in advancing avian genetic modifications. To address these challenges, we employed a streamlined and practical approach for the efficient isolation and stable cultivation of chicken gonadal PGCs.
methodsChicken gonadal PGCs were isolated from embryonic gonads, surgically removed and dissociated using trypsin. The PGCs were isolated by exploiting differential adhesion properties, allowing fibroblasts to attach while PGCs remained suspended. Cultivation was performed with mitotically inactivated SIM mouse embryo-derived thioguanineresistant (STO) feeder cells under optimized culture conditions.
resultsPGCs proliferated robustly, reaching over 105 cells within one month, which is comparable to previously reported methods. Characterization assays confirmed the expression of PGC-specific markers, including SSEA-1 and DAZL, along with pluripotencyrelated genes such as OCT4 and NANOG. Additionally, injected PGCs successfully migrated to recipient embryonic gonads, where their presence was confirmed by fluorescence analysis and PCR.
conclusionThis study highlights the effectiveness of the STO feeder-based culture system in avian germ cell research, contributing to progress in the production of germline chimeric and GM chickens.
