Title:
CULTURE MEDIUM FOR EPITHELIAL STEM CELLS AND ORGANOIDS COMPRISING SAID STEM CELLS.
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/090513
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for culturing epithelial stem cells, isolated tissue fragments comprising said epithelial stem cells, or adenoma cells, and culturing the cells or fragments in the presence of a Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) inhibitor, a mitogenic growth factor, and a Wnt agonist when culturing epithelial stem cells and isolated tissue fragments. The invention further relates to a cell culture medium comprising a BMP inhibitor, a mitogenic growth factor, and a Wnt agonist, to the use of said culture medium, and to crypt-villus organoids, gastric organoids and pancreatic organoids that are formed in said culture medium.
