In recent years, a large number of groups studied the fate of human stem cells in livers of immunodeficient animals. However, the interpretation of the results is quite controversial. We transplanted 4 different types of human extrahepatic precursor cells (derived from cord blood, monocytes, bone ma

Abstract
Fourβday synchronous blastocyst donor cells and 8β and 12βday asynchronous embryonic cells were transplanted adjacent to and within the inner cell mass of fourβday recipient blastocysts. Virtually all recipient blastocysts tolerated micrurgical procedures and regained their βnormalβ size and shape after four hours of incubation. About 3% of all recipient blastocysts exhibited rejected cells.
The nuclei of the transplanted cells, labeled with tritiated thymidine, appeared to be present in various phases of the cell cycle 20 hours after transplant. After 40 hours in culture, the number of labeled cells was significantly greater than the number of cells transplanted in both the synchronous and asynchronous transplants. The present study shows for the first time that chronologically older cells can divide in a younger embryo and suggests that they participate in the structure of the recipient embryo.
