Corneal epithelial-like cells derived from surface ectoderm cells

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for inducing keratin 12 positive corneal epithelial cells from cells derived from surface ectoderm. More specifically, a method for inducing K12-positive corneal epithelium-like cells by introducing PAX6, KLF4, and OCT4 into cells derived from surface ectoderm such as oral mucosal epithelial cells, and corneal epithelium induced by the method Related to like cells.
