Abstract
This application relates to a method for differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into multi-competent renal precursor cells expressing Six2. These renal precursor cells are able to differentiate into fully functional and fully differentiated podocytes. Moreover this application relates to a method for differentiating human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into defined renal precursor cells expressing Six2 and podocytes based on linked steps of chemically defined medium inductions.
