Title of Invention LUNG AND AIRWAY PROGENITORS GENERATED FROM HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND RELATED TREATMENTS
Abstract

Provided is a method for generating lung progenitor cells comprising steps of (a) producing anterior foregut endoderm cells from mammalian pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), (b) culturing the anterior foregut endoderm cells in a suspension culture to generate at least one lung bud organoid (LBO), (c) embedding the LBO within a 3D matrix, (d) culturing the embedded LBO to form branched LBO (BLBO), and (e) dissociating the LBO or BLBO and culturing the dissociated LBO or BLBO on feeder cells in a culture medium.
