392 results about "Induced pluripotent stem cell" patented technology

Disclosed herein are cell culture compositions, for example, pancreatic cell culture compositions, derived from dedifferentiated human reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells, such as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and methods for producing and using such cell culture compositions.

The invention provides a method for obtaining a hemopoietic stem cell by using a three-dimensional induction system. A three-dimensional cell culture medium or cell culture bracket, such as a three-dimensional cell culture system made of the materials such as hydrogel, seaweed and the like is utilized, and / or combined with matrix cells such as bone marrow cell, mouse bone marrow cell lines OP9, OP9DL1 and the like, and / or combined with a plurality of factors including mesoderm induction factors, hematopoietic growth factor and the like to induce multipotent stem cells to differentiate into hemopoietic stem cells. A new method for obtaining the hemopoietic stem cells is built. The system for efficiently inducing the multipotent stem cells to differentiate into the hemopoietic stem cells by using a three-dimensional induction system and / or combining with matrix cells such as bone marrow cell and the like and / or a plurality of factors is built for the first time. Theoretical basis and a technology platform are provided for obtaining clinically available hemopoietic stem cells, and a new method and a new concept are developed for application of hematopoietic cells derived from multipotent stem cells in the fields such as disease mechanism exploration, drug screening and the like.

The invention provides a culture system which contains defined components and efficiently acquires induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) from somatic cells. The culture medium additive provided by the invention contains vitamin C, vitamin B12, insulin, glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitor, receptor tyrosine kinase and antioxidant. The culture medium additive provided by the invention can also contain a substituted serum cell growth promoter. The invention also provides a complete medium acquired by inducing pluripotent stem cells, which is prepared from one or more of basic culture medium, serum and substituted serum additive and the culture medium additive. The culture system provided by the invention does not have serum, has no animal source pollution, contains defined chemical components, efficiently acquires iPS cells, can maintain cell growth and proliferation in the process of conversion from somatic cells to iPS cells under the condition that feeder cells do not exist, simultaneously accelerates the induction course of the iPS cells obviously, and greatly improves the efficiency of inducing the somatic cells into the iPS cells.
