MEDIUM FOR CULTURING AND EXPANDING NEPHRON PROGENITOR CELLS, METHOD FOR CULTURING AND EXPANDING NEPHRON PROGENITOR CELLS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING RENAL ORGANOIDS

摘要

This medium is for culturing and expanding nephron progenitor cells and contains FGF2, heparin, a ROCK inhibitor, a GSK3β inhibitor, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), an ALK inhibitor, a BMP inhibitor, and a JAK inhibitor. This method is for culturing and expanding nephron progenitor cells by using said medium. This method for producing renal organoids comprises: a step for culturing and expanding a nephron progenitor culture by said culturing and expanding method using the medium; and a step for differentiating, into renal organoids, the nephron progenitor cells obtained through the culturing and expanding.
