Abstract:

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have unlimited proliferation potential and the ability to differentiate into various types of tissue cells, making them the focus of current stem cell research. The research on PSCs in livestock not only holds fundamental theoretical significance, but also has important implications for application in animal breeding, biomedicine, food production and other fields. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the culture conditions, identification methods, and maintenance of pluripotency in pluripotent stem cells. Furthermore, it outlines the research progress of livestock pluripotent stem cells and provides a prospective outlook on its application prospects in order to offer references in further study of livestock pluripotent stem cells.

Key words: pluripotency, stem cells, embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells
