    摘要: Diabetes is a clinical condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and is treated by insulin replacement therapies. New strategies to create scalable and compatible pancreatic islets containing insulin-producing beta cells are necessary as an alternative to limited supply of cadaveric islets or multiple exogenous insulin applications. Improvements are still necessary since many immature polyhormonal cells remain, and cannot attain a monohormonal state. During human development, pancreas co-develops with endothelium and shares signals, allowing for better maturation of beta cells, and this is not included in the current differentiation protocols. The organchip microfluidic devices allows dynamic co-culture of different cells, thus resembling in vivo physiology. Here the Inventors establish organ-chip models co-culturing human iPSC-derived pancreatic precursors with iPSC-derived endothelial cells to obtain more functional and monohormonal iPSC-derived beta cells.

    摘要: Described herein are methods and compositions related to generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Improved techniques for establishing highly efficient, reproducible reprogramming using non-integrating episomal plasmid vectors. Using the described reprogramming protocol, one is able to consistently reprogram non-T cells with close to 100% success from non-T cell or non-B cell sources. Further advantages include use of a defined reprogramming media E7 and using defined clinically compatible substrate recombinant human L-521. Generation of iPSCs from these blood cell sources allows for recapitulation of the entire genomic repertoire, preservation of genomic fidelity and enhanced genomic stability.

    摘要: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a clinical syndrome caused by insufficient insulin secretion for insulin requirements. described herein are compositions and methods for microphysiological MPS models of disease (MODs) for diabetes. These platforms allow one to compare the effect of chronic β-cell stimulation in the presence and absence of patient specific immune cells in IPSC-derived islets from each group. Additionally, one can reproduce the T2D β-cell phenotype, using islets-on-chips will also be exposed to gluco-lipotoxicity. Likewise, skeletal muscle-on-chips are exposed to patient specific activated immune cells, variable motor neuron innervation and lipids characteristic of T2D.

    摘要: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can give rise to multiple cell types and hold great promise in regenerative medicine and disease modeling applications. The Inventors herein developed a reliable two-step protocol to generate human mammary-like organoids from iPSCs. Non-neural ectoderm cell-containing spheres, referred to as mEBs, were first differentiated and enriched from iPSCs using MammoCult medium. Gene expression profile analysis suggested that mammary gland function-associated signaling pathways were hallmarks of 10-d differentiated mEBs. The Inventors generated mammary-like organoids from 10-d mEBs using 3D floating mixed gel culture and a three-stage differentiation procedure. These organoids expressed common breast tissue, luminal, and basal markers, including estrogen receptor, and could be induced to produce milk protein. These results demonstrate that human iPSCs can be directed in vitro toward mammary lineage differentiation.
