| Research Abstract |
For new stem cell transplantation by using spheroid derived from neural crest stem cells and adipose tissue-derived stem cells under microgravity, at first, we tried to perform the differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to the neural crest stem cell. 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.
