Title:
CELL CLUSTER COMPRISING PLURAL KINDS OF CELLS DERIVED FROM SOMA WITH ABILITY TO FORM PRIMITIVE ORGAN-LIKE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/001938
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a method for producing a cell cluster comprising plural kinds of somatic cells derived from soma with an ability to form a primitive organ-like structure, comprising preparing culture media containing the plural kinds of somatic cells, mixing the culture media of the plural kinds of somatic cells and then adding a Wnt signaling activator to the mixed cell culture medium, subjecting the culture medium containing the Wnt signaling activator to nonplanar contact culture for a predetermined period, replacing the medium of the culture subjected to the nonplanar contact culture with a medium not containing the Wnt signaling activator and further culturing it for a predetermined period, wherein at least one kind of the plural kinds of somatic cells maintains an undifferentiated state.
