Abstract
Millions of people suffer from end-stage refractory diseases. The ideal treatment option for terminally ill patients is organ transplantation. However, donor organs are in absolute shortage, and sadly, most patients die while waiting for a donor organ. To date, no technology has achieved long-term sustainable patient-derived organ generation. In this regard, emerging technologies of chimeric human organ production via blastocyst complementation (BC) holds great promise. To take human organ generation via BC and transplantation to the next step, we reviewed current emerging organ generation technologies and the associated efficiency of chimera formation in human cells from the standpoint of developmental biology.

Chicken Interspecies Chimerism Unveils Human Pluripotency. Stem Cell Reports 2020; 16:39-55.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are commonly kept in a primed state but also able to acquire a more immature naive state under specific conditions in vitro. Acquisition of naive state changes several properties of hPSCs and might affect their contribution to embryonic development in vivo. However, the lack of an appropriate animal test system has made it difficult to assess potential differences for chimera formation between naive and primed hPSCs. Here, we report that the developing chicken embryo is a permissive host for hPSCs, allowing analysis of the pluripotency potential of hPSCs. Transplantation of naive-like and primed hPSCs at matched developmental stages resulted in robust chimerism. Importantly, the ability of naive-like but not of primed hPSCs to form chimera was substantially reduced when injected at non-matched developmental stages. We propose that contribution to chick embryogenesis is an informative and versatile test to identify different pluripotent states of hPSCs.

Abstract
The egg yolk plasma (EYP)-a translucent fraction of the egg yolk (EY) obtained by centrifugation-was tested as a developmentally encouraging, cost-effective, biomaterial for salivary gland (SG) tissue engineering. To find optimal incubating conditions for both the human NS-SV-AC SG acinar cell line and SG fibroblasts, cells were stained with Live/Dead®. The cellular contents of 96-well plates were analyzed by high content screening image analysis. Characteristically, the EYP biomaterial had lipid and protein content resembling the EY. On its own, the EYP was non-conducive to cell survival. EYP's pH of 6 mainly contributed to cell death. This was demonstrated by titrating EYP's pH with different concentrations of either commercial cell culture media, NaOH, or egg white (EW). These additives improved SG mesenchymal and epithelial cell survival. The best combinations were EYP diluted with (1) 70% commercial medium, (2) 0.02 M NaOH, or (3) 50% EW. Importantly, commercial medium-free growth was obtained with EYP + NaOH or EYP + EW. Furthermore, 3D cultures were obtained as a result of EW's gelatinous properties. Here, the isolation, characterization, and optimization of three EYP-based biomaterial combinations are shown; two were free of commercial medium or supplements and supported both SG cells' survival.

MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12213480.

Abstract
For salivary gland (SG) tissue engineering, we cultured acinar NS-SV-AC cell line or primary SG fibroblasts for 14 days in avian egg yolk plasma (EYP). Media or egg white (EW) supplemented the cultures as they grew in 3D-Cryo histology well inserts. In the second half of this manuscript, we measured EYP’s freeze-thaw gelation and freeze-thaw induced gelled EYP (GEYP), and designed and tested further GEYP tissue engineering applications. With a 3D-Cryo well insert, we tested GEYP as a structural support for 3D cell culture or as a bio-ink for 3D-Bioprinting fluorescent cells. In non-printed EYP + EW or GEYP + EW cultures, sagittal sections of the cultures showed cells remaining above the well’s base. Ki-67 expression was lacking for fibroblasts, contrasting NS-SV-AC’s constant expression. Rheological viscoelastic measurements of GEYP at 37 °C on seven different freezing periods showed constant increase from 0 in mean storage and loss moduli, to 320 Pa and 120 Pa, respectively, after 30 days. We successfully 3D-printed GEYP with controlled geometries. We manually extruded GEYP bio-ink with fluorescence cells into a 3D-Cryo well insert and showed cell positioning. The 3D-Cryo well inserts reveal information on cells in EYP and we demonstrated GEYP cell culture and 3D-printing applications.

Abstract
Xenografting of normal and transformed mammalian tissues and cells to chick embryos has been performed for almost 100 years. Embryonic stem cells, derived more than 25 years ago from murine, and more than 10 years ago from human blastocysts, have transformed many fields of biological research. There is a growing body of studies combining these two widely-used experimental systems. This review surveys those reports in which murine or human embryonic stem cells, or differentiated derivatives of these pluripotent stem cells, were transplanted to embryonated chick eggs. Many of these studies have utilized the unique characteristics of both experimental models to obtain answers to developmental questions that are difficult or impossible to approach with xenografting to adult rodents or tissue culture-only techniques.
