Project description:Control or KD hESC were differentiated into organoids as decribed in Methods. RNA was extracted from individual organoids at day 20 after commencing the STEMdiff™ Cerebral Organoid Kit protocol. Day 0 was designated as the day of transfer of hESC to a 96-well plate for differentiation into embryoid bodies .
Project description:The goal of this study is to investigate transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived pancreatic organoids with or without metformin treatment at various concentrations.
Project description:We studied the impact of ZIKA virus infection on DNA methylation in whole organoids, organoid derived astrocytes, neurons neural progeniotors and hESC or iPSC derived astrocytes, neurons, neural progenotor cells
Project description:RNA-seq was utilized to characterize the transcriptome of human embryonic stem cells-derived 3D cerebral organoids. Briefly, H9 hESCs were differentiated into cerebral organoids using previously established methods (Lancaster, 2013). Coding and noncoding genes were analyzed in 1 month and 2 month old cerebral organoid samples.
Project description:Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line Man-13 was edited by CRISPR resulting in a hESC line carrying a heterozygous frameshift mutation with a premature stop codon in exon-1 of the HNF1B gene ([p.Val61Argfs*18]), functionally equivalent to a heterozygous whole-gene deletion. Kidney organoids were then created by differentiation (as per Takasato et al, 2015; Bantounas et al, 2018; Bantounas et al 2021) of this line and an isogenic non-mutant control line. Single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) was then performed on day-25 of differentiation to identify transcriptomic differences, as well as differences in identity and numbers of the cell populations comprising the organoids, with the aim of mechanistically explaining developmental aberrations observed in patients with mutations in this gene.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of hESC-derived mesothelium (MesoT), hESCs and hESC-derived splanchnic mesoderm (SplM) compared to primary human tissue samples. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip kit was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 methylation sites. Samples include 2 WA09 hESCs, 2 hESC-derived splanchnic mesoderm and 3 hESC-derived mesothelium replicates.
