摘要:
Methods, compositions and kits for producing functional chondrocytes, skeletal cells, bone marrow stromal cells, and progenitor cells thereof are provided. These methods, compositions and kits find use in producing chondrocytes, osteoblasts, stromal cells, and progenitor cells thereof in vivo, or in vitro for transplantation, for experimental evaluation, as a source of lineage- and cell-specific products, and the like, for example for use in treating human disorders of the cartilage, bone and hematopoietic system. In some embodiments, specific combinations of protein factors are identified for reprogramming non-skeletal cells into bones, hematopoietic stroma, and chondrocytes, which may be provided in vitro or in vivo.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of differentiating pluripotent cells into beta cell using suspension clustering. The methods of the invention use control of one or more of pH, cell concentration, and retinoid concentration to generate a nearly homogenous population of PDX1/NKX6.1 co-expressing cells by suppressing precocious NGN3 expression and promoting NKX6.1 expression. Also, the nearly homogenous population of PDX1/NKX6.1 co-expressing cells may be further differentiated in vitro to form a population of pancreatic endocrine cells that co-express PDX1, NKX6.1, insulin and MAFA.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for producing red blood cells (RBCs) from a population of stem cells and/or progenitor cells. In at least one of the stem cells or progenitor cells, SH2B3 protein activity is decreased, SH2B3 mRNA level is decreased, and/or SH2B3 protein level is decreased. The methods provided herein permit the production of RBCs with increased quantity and/or quality as compared to a method using the same population of stem cells and/or progenitor cells without SH2B3 inhibition or disruption. Also provided herein are methods of use of the RBCs produced using the methods described herein.
摘要:
One or more type 7 long terminal repeat (LTR7) nucleic acid sequences of type H human endogenous retroviruses (HERVH) (“LTR7/HERVH nucleic acid sequences”) can be used for identifying primate naïve pluripotent stem cells. LTR7/HERVH-associated transcription can be used as a marker for primate naive pluripotent stem cells. A reporter construct that includes LTR7/HERVH nucleic acid sequences can be used for optimizing culture conditions for naïve primate pluripotent stem cells. A cell growth medium can be used for cultivation of primate naive pluripotent stem cells, which can exhibit elevated levels of LTR7/HERVH-associated transcription in comparison to control cells.

The present invention provides a method for efficiently manufacturing full-thickness skin with skin appendage. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing full-thickness skin with skin appendage, characterized in that said method comprises the following steps (a) - (d): (a) a step of stimulating an embryoid body with a bioactive substance that may activate the Wnt pathway, (b) a step of preparing a conjugate comprising all or a part of said embryoid body stimulated in step (a) and a scaffolding material, (c) a step of transplanting said conjugate prepared in said step (b) to an animal, and (d) a step of manufacturing full-thickness skin derived from said conjugate in said animal.
摘要:
The present invention provides an elongated or fiber-supported multicellular aggregation of multipotent cells, wherein multipotent cells are arranged in an oblong or longish arrangement with an aspect ratio of a prolate dimension to a perpendicular dimension of at least 2:1, or supported by a fibrous structure, and wherein said aggregate contains cells at different stages of differentiation, and said aggregate contains polar cells; methods of generating such aggregates; methods of developing the aggregates further into tissue organoids and kits for such methods.
摘要:
The invention provides methods and materials for resetting or sustaining a human stem cell in a “naïve” or “ground” state, based on the use of media including combinations of inhibitors. An example naïve culture medium comprises a PKC inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor. Also provided are methods of obtaining or propagating such cells, cells obtained using these methods, and novel culture media, which can be used in these methods.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods for enhancing cultured meat production, such as livestock-autonomous meat production. In certain aspects, the meat is any metazoan tissue or cell-derived comestible product intended for use as a comestible food or nutritional component by humans, companion animals, domesticated or captive animals whose carcasses are intended for comestible use, service animals, conserved animal species, animals used for experimental purposes, or cell cultures.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for inducing differentiation of a human pluripotent stem cell into an intermediate mesoderm cell without the use of a growth factor. Such method comprises performing culture in a medium containing a specific compound, so as to induce differentiation of a human pluripotent stem cell into an intermediate mesoderm cell.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of inducing formation of a gastric cells and/or a gastric tissue, such as in the form of a gastric organoid. The formation of gastric cells and/or tissue may be carried out by the activating and/or inhibiting of one or more signaling pathways within a precursor cell. Also disclosed are methods for using the disclosed gastric cells, gastric tissues, and/or gastric organoids derived from precursor cells.
