  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING PLACENTAL CELLS
    Publication number: 20230183643
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a method of producing a population of induced multipotent placental cells, the method comprising culturing a population of pluripotent stem cells in the presence of an induction media comprising a retinoid, and optionally a Wnt signaling agonist. Certain embodiments also provide cells, compositions, kits and methods of use thereof.

  • Human blood-brain barrier endothelial cells derived from pluripotent stem cells and blood-brain barrier model thereof
    Patent number: 9902940
    Abstract: A model blood brain barrier obtained from hPSCs is disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2018
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Eric V. Shusta, Samira Azarin, Sean Palecek, Ethan Lippmann
  • Cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells under defined conditions using matrix overlay methods
    Patent number: 9068167
    Abstract: Methods for culturing the pluripotent stem cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and for generating high-yield, high-purity cardiomyocyte cultures from pluripotent stem cells are described. Pluripotent stem cells are cultured on a support with an overlaid matrix and, optionally, exposed to one or more factors to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cardiogenesis.
