Directing Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Toward Anterior Neural Ectoderm Using Small Molecules
3 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Based on knowledge of early embryo development, where anterior neural ectoderm (ANE) development is regulated by native inhibitors of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) and Nodal/Activin signaling, most published protocols of human embryonic stem cell differentiation to ANE have demonstrated a crucial role for Smad signaling in neural induction. The drawbacks of such protocols include the use of an embryoid body...
