Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Results of this study suggested that the human neural crest cells induced from human ES/iPS cells. Possessed the characteristics of cranial neural crest cells, which exhibit the potential to differentiate into corneal endothelial cells. This simple, robust, and chemically defined induction protocol enables to generate neural crest cells as an intermediate material producing terminally differentiate cells for cell-based innovative medicine. In the future, this study will provide a highly practical system for inducing corneal endothelium from human ES/iPS cells.
