Compartmentalized embryoid body culture for induction of spatially patterned differentiation
We developed a compartmentalized culture system of single embryoid bodies (EBs) utilizing a through-hole on a membrane to induce spatially patterned differentiation. An EB derived from mouse pluripotent stem cells was immobilized on the through-hole. By introducing a stem cell maintenance medium and a differentiation medium into upper and lower culture compartments, respectively, a localized di...
متن کاملSpatially Patterned Neural and Cardiac Differentiation of Embryoid Body (eb) in a Microfluidic Device
Experiments using a micro-device, consisting of two flow channels and 3 pillars standing at the channel crossing, firstly showed that an embryoid body (EB) of iPS cells can be differentiated into neural and cardiac cells in a spatially patterned manner. Theoretical simulation showed that the chemical gradients can be kept at the crossing even with small flowing velocity of 0.1uL/min. It demonst...
متن کاملA High-throughput Platform for Patterned Differentiation of Embryoid Bodies Using Air Bubbles
A microfluidic platform for simultaneous patterned differentiation of multiple embryoid bodies of embryonic stem cells using air bubble is developed. Theoretical simulation and experiments using suspension of fluorescent particles or fluorescent solution showed that chemical gradients and little shear existed within the chamber of the devices. EB was pushed by air bubbles into the micro-chamber...
متن کاملInduction of lymphatic endothelial cell differentiation in embryoid bodies.
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the formation of the lymphatic vascular system remain poorly characterized. Whereas studies in embryonic stem (ES) cells have provided major new insights into the mechanisms of blood vessel formation, the development of lymphatic endothelium has not been previously observed. We established embryoid bodies (EBs) from murine ES cells in the presence or absen...
متن کاملMouse teratomas and embryoid bodies: their induction and differentiation.
Teratomas were induced by the transfer of mouse blastocysts (C3H and 129/J strains) and egg-cylinders (C3H) to extra-uterine sites. C3H and 129/J blastocysts cultured in vitro for 4 or 5 days could also form teratomas in extra-uterine sites. Four transplantable teratomas, or teratocarcinomas, were derived from C3H embryos; embryoid bodies were derived from each line. The differentiative capacit...
