Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of stem cell biology, in particular to a method and a kit for inducing microglial cells from pluripotent stem cells. Background technique
[0002] Stem cells (Stem Cells) are a type of insufficiently differentiated cells that exist in multicellular organisms. Stem cells can self-renew through mitosis to produce more stem cells, and can also divide and differentiate to form a variety of specialized cells, tissues and organs. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) is a new type of stem cell obtained by transferring transcription factors or small molecular compounds into mammalian somatic cells, and usually has three germ layers similar to embryonic stem cells Differentiation ability, in theory, it can differentiate into all tissues and organs of the adult.
[0003] Induced pluripotent stem cells theoretically have the ability to differentiate into all types of specialized cells, and are very suitable for replacing cells...
