Research Abstract |
It is known mouse embryonic stem cell can be developed into hypothalamic lineage (ES-hypo) invitro. In this study, we have improved the method to have vasopressin neurons more effectively. Central diabetes insipidus manifests polyuria and polydipsia which results from the deficit in the hypothalamic area that produce vasopressin. We have developed a regenerativetherapy using ES-hypo in the model animal, Brattleboro rat. The heterograft of ES-hypo in the brain survived more than six weeks, and recipients reduced urine volume by 40% compared to the negative control group.
