Published: June 2022

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold enormous potential in the field of regenerative medicine due to their pluripotent properties, where they can give rise to all cell types in the body. Here we describe a detailed 20-day culture and differentiation protocol to generate iPSC-derived podocytes grown as a monolayer. These iPSC-derived podocytes appear arborised by morphology and express podocyte-specific markers. Also described is a detailed immunofluorescence staining protocol to confirm successful differentiation using the podocyte-specific markers, Wilms' tumor protein (WT1) and podocin.
