Core Tip	Rat embryonic stem (ES) cells are thought to be an essential tool for creating transgenic rats. Since the method for establishing rat ES cells using signaling inhibitors was reported, numerous approaches have been made to propagate rat ES cells efficiently. Additionally, recent investigations have demonstrated the usefulness of the signal inhibitors for microinjection. In this review, we summarize the several advanced methods to maintain rat ES cells and generate gene-targeted rats.
