NBDC Research ID: hum0508.v1

 

SUMMARY

Aims: We will establish disease-specific iPS cells from patient somatic cells and induce them into an ocular developmental model system to mimic the ocular developmental stage in vitro, and conduct detailed analysis of the phenotype and cell population obtained at the time of differentiation induction, which is extrapolated to the normal stage of formation of major organs. This research will help to elucidate the pathogenesis of the disease and to search for therapeutic methods. This research is expected to elucidate the detailed pathogenesis and mechanisms of ocular diseases that have remained unexplored until now.

Methods: single-cell RNA-seq

Participants/Materials: Epithelial tissues were collected from the clear central corneal region and the limbus of a patient with congenital aniridia during cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET) surgery. The tissues were obtained by gentle scraping using a scalpel.
