Journal ArticleDOI

A ROCK inhibitor permits survival of dissociated human embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: Application of a selective Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, Y-27632, to hES cells markedly diminishes dissociation-induced apoptosis, increases cloning efficiency and facilitates subcloning after gene transfer, and enables SFEB-cultured hES Cells to survive and differentiate into Bf1+ cortical and basal telencephalic progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-formation of optic cups and storable stratified neural retina from human ESCs.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an optic cup structure can form by self-organization in human ESC culture and an optimized vitrification method enables en bloc cryopreservation of stratified neural retina of human origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Organized Formation of Polarized Cortical Tissues from ESCs and Its Active Manipulation by Extrinsic Signals

TL;DR: Self-organized formation of apico-basally polarized cortical tissues from ESCs using an efficient three-dimensional aggregation culture (SFEBq culture) is demonstrated and spatial and temporal aspects of early corticogenesis are recapitulated and can be manipulated in this ESC culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Organization of Polarized Cerebellar Tissue in 3D Culture of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: Human-ESC-derived cerebellar progenitors exhibit substantial self-organizing potential for generating a polarized structure reminiscent of the early human cerebellum at the first trimester.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-formation of functional adenohypophysis in three-dimensional culture

TL;DR: Efficient self-formation of three-dimensional adenohypophysis tissues in an aggregate culture of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells is reported, indicating functional anterior pituitary tissue self-forms in ES cell culture, recapitulating local tissue interactions.
