Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cell transdifferentiation, and in particular relates to a method for inducing somatic cell transdifferentiation into mammary gland epithelial cells in vitro by using a small molecule compound. Background technique
[0002] Mammary gland epithelial cells are an in vitro model for studying mammary gland growth and development, lactation mechanism, and verifying the effectiveness of mammary gland tissue-specific expression vectors. At present, most primary mammary epithelial cells are cultured by collagenase digestion and tissue block culture. The purer epithelial cells can be obtained by digesting mammary gland tissue with collagenase and then undergoing density gradient centrifugation. The tissue block culture method is simple in operation, saves tissue samples, and avoids the adverse effects of digestion and centrifugation on cells. However, it takes a long time for cells to grow out of the tissue block...
