  • Publication number: 20230257701
    Abstract: A method of culturing human induced pluripotent stem cells includes inoculating human induced pluripotent stem cells in a culture medium at an inoculation density of 1.0×104 to 1.0×106 cells/cm2 in a culture vessel and subjecting the human induced pluripotent stem cells to two-dimensional culturing. A method of producing cerebral organoids includes culturing a culture of the human induced pluripotent stem cells obtained by the method of culturing human induced pluripotent stem cells in a culture medium containing a BMP inhibitor and a transforming growth factor ? (TGF?) inhibitor to form cell aggregates, culturing the cell aggregates in a culture medium containing a Wnt signal transduction pathway potentiator and an extracellular matrix, and subjecting the culturing obtained in the culturing the cell aggregates to spinner culturing.

  • Publication number: 20220380725
    Abstract: According to a production method for a brain organoid, comprising a step 1 of carrying out suspension culture of human pluripotent stem cells having a mutation in at least one or more base sequences in an exon selected from the group consisting of an exon 9, an exon 10, an exon 11, an exon 12, and an exon 13 of a microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene, and having a mutation in at least one or more base sequences in an intron 10 of the MAPT gene, it is possible to produce a brain organoid having a phosphorylated 3-repeat tau protein and a phosphorylated 4-repeat tau protein.

  • Publication number: 20220235331
    Abstract: A method of producing induced pluripotent stem cells including a step for introducing an initialization factor into somatic cells of a mammal, and culturing in a neural stem cell culture medium to obtain induced neural stem cell-like cells, and a step for cultivating said induced neural stem cell-like cells in a growth medium to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells, wherein the initialization factor contains an OCT family, a SOX family, a KLF family, a MYC family, a LIN28 family and a P53 function inhibitor.

  • Publication number: 20210040445
    Abstract: A method for producing a tau-related disease model is provided. The method includes three-dimensionally culturing pluripotent stem cells having a mutation in a Microtubule Associated. Protein Tau (MAPT) gene to form a nerve organoid, and dissociating the nerve organoid into single cells and performing two-dimensional adherent culture to obtain neurons, in which the neurons are a tau-related disease model.

  • Publication number: 20200325453
    Abstract: To produce and/or maintain naïve pluripotent stem cells capable of highly expressing genes important for maintaining an undifferentiated state, which could not be achieved by known methods for producing pluripotent stem cells. The present invention can produce naïve pluripotent stem cells capable of maintaining an undifferentiated state by introducing and allowing transient expression of six genes (Oct3/4, Klf4, c-Myc, Sox2, Nanog, and Klf2) among the so-called initializing factors, and further performing culturing in a medium containing LIF, an MEK inhibitor, a GSK3 inhibitor, a cAMP production promoter, a TGF-? inhibitor and a PKC inhibitor. Thus, the problem of the present invention can be solved.
