Neural crest (NC) is a population of cells, formed at the intersection between non-neural ectoderm and neural tube. Neural crest progenitors are multipotent, have capacity to extensive migration and self-renewal. They can be differentiated into various cells types from craniofacial skeletal tissues to components of peripheral nervous system. Influence of signaling molecules and transcription factors, which are expressed at the different stages regulate development of NC. The regulatory network of genes determines the processes of induction, specification, migration and differentiation of neural crest cells (NCC). The purpose of this article is to compare the characteristics of NCC, obtained from tissues of the embryo, fetus and adult; experimental strategies for obtaining NCC from embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, skin fibroblasts; comparison of the potential of different cell types for therapeutic use in a clinical setting. Embryonic stem NCC are differentiated to the trunk, cranial, cardiac, circumpharyngeal and vagal according to the area of their initial migration. Mature stem NCC can be obtained from the dorsal root ganglia, red bone marrow, hair follicle, skin, intestines, carotid body, heart, cornea, iris, dental pulp, hard palate and oral mucosa. Genetic mutations may lead to failure of regulation of NC development, which leads to many congenital human diseases such as cardiovascular defects, craniofacial abnormalities and intestinal aganglionosis, collectively known as neurocristopathies. The identification and isolation of multipotent stem NCC derived from adult tissues, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells are promising source for regenerative medicine.

AbstractStem cell technology has been around for almost 30 years and in that time has grown into an enormous field. The stem cell technique progressed from the first successful isolation of mammalian embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the 1990s, to the production of human induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the early 2000s, to finally culminate in the differentiation of pluripotent cells into highly specialized cell types, such as neurons, endothelial cells (ECs), cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, and lung and intestinal cells, in the last decades. In recent times, we have attained a new height in stem cell research whereby we can produce 3D organoids derived from stem cells that more accurately mimic the in vivo environment. This review summarizes the development of stem cell research in the context of vascular research ranging from differentiation techniques of ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to the generation of vascularized 3D organoids. Furthermore, the different techniques are critically reviewed, and future applications of current 3D models are reported. Graphical abstract

AbstractRationaleHighly reproducible in vitro generation of human bronchial epithelium from pluripotent stem cells is an unmet key goal for drug screening to treat lung diseases. The possibility of using induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to model normal and diseased tissue in vitro from a simple blood sample will reshape drug discovery for chronic lung, monogenic and infectious diseases.MethodsWe devised a simple and reliable method that drives a blood sample reprogrammed into hiPSC subsequently differentiated within 45 days into air-liquid interface bronchial epithelium (iALI), through key developmental stages, definitive-endoderm (DE) and Ventralized-Anterior-Foregut-Endoderm (vAFE) cells.ResultsReprogramming blood cells from one healthy and 3 COPD patients, and from skin-derived fibroblasts obtained in one PCD patient, succeeded in 100% of samples using Sendai viruses. Mean cell purity at DE and vAFE stages was greater than 80%, assessed by expression of CXCR4 and NKX2.1, avoiding the need of cell sorting. When transferred to ALI conditions, vAFE cells reliably differentiated within 4 weeks into bronchial epithelium with large zones covered by beating ciliated, basal, goblets, club cells and neuroendocrine cells as found in vivo. Benchmarking all culture conditions including hiPSCs adaptation to single-cell passaging, cell density and differentiation induction timing allowed for consistently producing iALI bronchial epithelium from the five hiPSC lines.ConclusionsReliable reprogramming and differentiation of blood-derived hiPSCs into mature and functional iALI bronchial epithelium is ready for wider use and this will allow better understanding lung disease pathogenesis and accelerating the development of novel gene therapies and drug discovery.
