| Research Abstract |
For a new treatment strategy for Hirschsprung's disease, we tried to performe the differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to enteric nervous system using the three-dimensional culture. We demonstrate that mouse iPS cells have the ability to organize a gut-like organ with motor function in vitro by three-dementional culture. A gut-like organ was composed of all the enteric components of three germ layers. When this study aims for treatment of Hirschsprung's disease, it was very important discovery to organization of functional gut including the nervous system from iPS cells which have a disease-specific characteristic.
