Descripción

General description

The hindgut is the region of the gut tube lying at the distal third of the transverse colon and gives rise to splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. Additionally, the endodermal layer of the hindgut region forms the epithelial lining of the urinary bladder and urethra. The main function of the hindgut is to absorb most of the water and nutrients remaining from partially digested food. The Hindgut Induction Medium is a defined ready-to-use serum-free media used for the efficient differentiation of definitive endoderm cells to CDX-2 positive hindgut endoderm cells. The 4-day differentiation protocol is simple and has been validated on two human iPS cell lines. Differentiated cells express high levels of the hindgut endoderm marker, CDX-2. CDX-2 hindgut endoderm cells can be further differentiated into specialized lineages such as intestinal colon organoids after embedding in Matrigel and cultured in 3dGRO^® Human Colon Organoid Expansion Medium (SCM304).
