Summary (written by the submitters)
Critical shortage of donor organs for treating end-stage organ failure highlights the urgent need for generating organs from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Despite many reports describing functional cell differentiation, no studies have succeeded in generating a three-dimensional vascularised organ such as liver. Here, we show the generation of vascularised and functional human liver from hiPSCs by transplantation of liver buds created in vitro (hiPSC-LBs).
Read the full summary ↓
Specified hepatic cells self-organised into three-dimensional hiPSC-LBs by recapitulating organogenetic interactions between endothelial and mesenchymal cells. Immunostaining and gene expression analyses revealed resemblance between in vitro grown hiPSC-LBs and in vivo liver buds. Human vasculatures in hiPSC-LB transplants became functional by connecting to the host vessels within 48 hours. The formation of functional vasculatures stimulated the maturation of hiPSC-LBs into tissue resembling the adult liver. Highly metabolic hiPSC-derived tissue performed liver-specific functions such as protein production and human-specific drug metabolism without recipient liver replacement.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need.

All supplementary files ↗
3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE46631_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

What the files usually look like: For arrays the series matrix is normally the normalised expression table you want; the raw array files (CEL and similar) are in the RAW.tar.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA201333. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
