Erythropoietin-Producing Organoid Precursor, Production Method Thereof, and Method For Treating Erythropoietin-Related Disorder

摘要

The subject of the present invention is to provide a means to producing an erythropoietin-producing organoid using mesenchymal stem cell derived from a mammal. It is a method for producing erythropoietin-producing organoid (organ-like structure) precursor, comprising the step of transplanting mesenchymal stem cell derived from a mammal into an embryo within a pregnant mammalian host or an embryo separated from a pregnant mammalian host to thereby induce the differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cell, in particular, a site to which the mesenchymal stem cell is to be transplanted is a nephrogenic site of the embryo, and a timing of transplantation corresponds to the stage in which a immune system of the host is still immunologically tolerant.
