Dr. Sasai established induce 3D retina from mice ES cells (Eiraku M, Nature 2011:472:51) & human ES cells (Nakano T, Cell Stem Cell 2012:10:771). We generated ciliary body from mice ES & iPS cells (Kinoshita H, Suzuma K, Kaneko J, Mandai M, Kitaoka T, Takahashi M: Induction of Functional 3D Ciliary Epithelium-Like Structure From Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2016:57:153-161), and ganglion cells (Maekawa Y, Onishi A, Matsushita K, Koide N, Mandai M, Suzuma K, Kitaoka T, Kuwahara A, Ozone C, Nakano T, Eiraku M, Takahashi M: Optimized culture system to induce neurite outgrowth from retinal ganglion cells in three-dimensional retinal aggregates differentiated from mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Curr Eye Res 2016:41:558-568). These technique may be a breakthrough for novel ocular drag delivery systems.
