Highly efficient differentiation and enrichment of spinal motor neurons derived from human and monkey embryonic stem cells.
BACKGROUND: There are no cures or efficacious treatments for severe motor neuron diseases. It is extremely difficult to obtain naïve spinal motor neurons (sMNs) from human tissues for research due to both technical and ethical reasons. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are alternative sources. Seve...
