[Abstract] Groundbreaking studies from Dr. Yoshiki Sasai’s laboratory have recently introduced novel methods to differentiate mouse and human Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs and hESCs) into organ-like 3D structures aimed to recapitulate developmental organogenesis programs (Eiraku et al., 2011; Eiraku and Sasai, 2012; Nakano et al., 2012; Kamiya et al., 2011). We took advantage of this method to optimize a 3D protocol to efficiently generate retinal progenitor cells and subsequently retinal neurons in vitro. This culture system provides an invaluable platform both to study early developmental processes and to obtain retinal neurons for transplantation approaches. The protocol described here has been successfully applied to several mouse ESC (including the R1, WD44 and ...
[摘要] 来自Yoshiki Sasai博士的实验室的开创性研究最近已经引入了将小鼠和人胚胎干细胞（mESC和hESC）区分为器官样3D结构的新方法，其旨在重现发育器官发生程序（Eiraku等人， ，2011; Eiraku和Sasai，2012; Nakano等人，2012; Kamiya等人，2011）。 我们利用这种方法优化3D协议以有效地生成视网膜祖细胞和随后视网膜神经元体外。 这种文化系统提供了一个宝贵的平台，既研究早期发展过程，并获得视网膜神经元的移植方法。 这里描述的协议已成功应用于几个鼠标ESC（包括R1，WD44和G4细胞系）和小鼠诱导多能干细胞（iPSCs）线。
