Improved Stem Cell-Derived Motoneuron Survival, Migration, Sprouting, and Innervation with Enhanced Expression of Polysialic Acid

Motoneurons (MNs) derived from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) begin to express low levels of polysialic acid (PSA) at the time when they acquire an ability to migrate and extend neurites. PSA is known to promote cell migration and process outgrowth/guidance in the developing nervous system. To te...
