The present invention provides methods to promote differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to pancreatic endoderm cells expressing PDX1, NKX6.1, and HB9. In particular, the methods encompass culturing Stage 4 to Stage 6 cells with a thyroid hormone (e.g. T3), an ALK5 inhibitor, or both.
本发明提供了促进多能干细胞分化为表达PDX1、NKX6.1和H
B9的胰腺内胚层细胞的方法。特别是,这些方法包括用甲状腺激素(如T3)、ALK5
抑制剂或两者培养4至6期细胞。
