Abstract excerpt
Investigation of serotonergic neuronal activity and its relationship to disease has been limited by a lack of physiologically relevant in vitro cell models. Serotonergic neurons derived from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) could provide a platform for such studies and provide models for use in drug discovery. Here, we report enhancement of serotonergic differentiation using a genetic approach. Expression of Gata2...
