Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to establish a technique to differentiate to respiratory epithelial tissue from induced pluripotent stem(iPS) cells, and to induce to reproduce tracheal tissue. Especially, current study determined the most effective conditions for embryoid body (EB) formation from iPS cells for regeneration of respiratory epitheium. This is the first study to demonstrate the potential of iPS cells for the regeneration of the respiratory epithelium.
