Abstract excerpt
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are present in both cortical and medullary thymic areas, and have crucial roles in functional T-cell development. In this study, we studied the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to TEC. When iPSC were cultured for 4 days in collagen IV-coated dishes in the presence of both activin A and lithium chloride (LiCl), the cells differentiated to definitive endoderm...
