摘要: The derivation of human inner ear tissue from pluripotent stem cells would enable in vitro screening drug candidates for the treatment hearing and balance dysfunction may provide a source cell-based therapies ear. Here we report method differentiating to organoids that harbor functional hair cells. Using three-dimensional culture system, modulate TGF, BMP, FGF, WNT signaling generate multiple otic-vesicle-like structures single stem-cell aggregate. Over 2 months, vesicles develop into with sensory epithelia are innervated by neurons. Additionally, using CRISPR-Cas9, an ATOH1-2A-eGFP cell line detect induction demonstrate derived exhibit electrophysiological properties similar those native Our system should facilitate study development research on diseases
