Ophthalmic Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University Professor Yao Ke's team of ophthalmology hospital of Zhejiang University published the title "modeling genetic cat in vitro using patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells" in npj regenerative medicine (impact factor 10.364), an authoritative journal in the field of life sciences Research papers. In this study, induced pluripotent stem cells derived from patients with congenital cataract with different gene mutations were used (iPSCs) were induced to differentiate into regenerated lens. It was found that compared with the regenerated lens from healthy individuals, the patient specific regenerated lens showed different degrees of turbidity, and its turbidity degree, protein aggregation degree and turbidity development process were one-to-one corresponding to the severity and course of cataract. This study established a model that can simulate the characteristics of patients for the first time in the world Heterotypic congenital cataract disease model in vitro provides an ideal platform for cataract mechanism research and drug screening in the future.
