ABSTRACT
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have proven to be a great in vitro model that faithfully recapitulates the events that occur during in vivo embryogenesis, making them a unique tool to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms that define tissue specification during embryonic development. Livestock ESCs are particularly attractive and have broad prospects including drug selection and human disease modeling, improvement of reproductive biotechniques and agriculture-related applications such as production of genetically modified animals. While mice and human ESCs have been established many years ago, no significant advances were made in livestock species until recently. Nowadays, livestock ESCs are available from cattle, pigs, sheep, horses and rabbits with different states of pluripotency. In this review, we summarize the current advances on livestock ESCs establishment and maintenance along with their present and future applications.
