摘要:
A method of differentiating embryonic stem cells into neural and motor cells is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention comprises culturing a population of cells comprising a majority of cells that are characterized by an early rosette morphology and are Sox1-/Pax6+ in the presence of FGF2, FGF4, FGF8, FGF9, or RA wherein the cells are characterized by an neural tube-like rosette morphology and are Pax6+/Sox1+.
