A three-dimensional (3D) tissue generated in vitro is a promising source to study developmental biology and regenerative medicine. In the last decade, Yoshiki Sasai's group have developed a 3D stem cell culture technique known as SFEBq and demonstrated that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have an ability to self-organize stratified neural tissue including 3D-retina. Furthermore, we have reported that ESC-derived retinal tissue can form an optic cup and a ciliary margin, which are unique structures in the developing retina. In this review, we focus on self-organizing culture technique to generate 3D-retina from human ESCs.
体外生成的三维(3D)组织是研究发育生物学和再生医学的一个有前景的来源。在过去十年中,笹井芳树的团队开发了一种称为SFEBq的3D干细胞培养技术,并证明胚胎干细胞(ESC)具有自我组织形成分层神经组织(包括3D视网膜)的能力。此外,我们已经报道,ESC来源的视网膜组织可以形成视杯和睫状缘,这是发育中的视网膜中的独特结构。在这篇综述中,我们重点关注从人类ESC生成3D视网膜的自我组织培养技术。
