Non-tumorigenicity of Muse cells. (A) Embryonic stem (ES) cells infused into immunodeficient mice (SCID mice) testes, formed teratomas within 8 to 12 weeks, (B) Histological analysis showed that the teratoma contained muscle tissue, intestine-like structures and keratinized skin, (C) Muse cell-transplanted testes did not generate teratomas similar to untreated testes, and (D) Testes injected with Muse cells maintained normal structure even 6 months post-injection (Pictures reproduced from Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2010, 107: 8639–43, and Stem Cells Dev 2014 DOI: 10.1089/scd.2013.0473).
