  • Publication number: 20250049847
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and its application for inducing iPSC differentiation to obtain CD34+cells and NK cells. The method utilizes the three-dimensional structure of the embryoid bodies to provide a favorable differentiation microenvironment for iPSC differentiation, and can start producing a high proportion of CD34+cells on the 4th day under hypoxic induction culture conditions. Subsequently, the production of iPSC induced NK cell differentiation is significantly increased by adhering to the embryoid bodies wall or digesting and resuspension induction, And the induced differentiation of NK cells can exert a killing effect on tumor cells in a short period of time, with strong tumor killing ability, suitable for the production and clinical application of large-scale cell preparations.

  • Publication number: 20240252687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration using iPSC-derived cells as vectors. CRISPR technology is used to perform site-directed dual gene editing of iPSCs, neurotrophic factors CNTF and miR-126 are expressed at the same time, and gene-edited IPSCs are then induced to differentiate into RPE cells. The RPE cells obtained by the induced differentiation can repair damaged RPE cells on CNV and inhibit the generation of choroidal neovascularization. In addition, the RPE cells can express the neurotrophic factors CNTF and miR-126 to fundamentally treat wet age-related macular degeneration, which has very good clinical application prospects.
