Directed differentiation of motor neuron cell-like cells from human adipose-derived stem cells in vitro

Abstract excerpt

The capacity of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) to differentiate into motor neurons and the identity of molecular factors that confer hADSCs with the competence of motor neurons have yet to be elucidated. Here, retinoic acid and sonic hedgehog were applied to examine whether hADSCs could be differentiated into motor neurons. As early as 6 h after induction, hADSCs were changed toward neuronal...
