Journal ArticleDOI

Neural differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells follows developmental principles but with variable potency

TL;DR: It is shown that human iPSCs use the same transcriptional network to generate neuroepithelia and functionally appropriate neuronal types over the same developmental time course as hESCs in response to the same set of morphogens; however, they do it with significantly reduced efficiency and increased variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol activates group I and II metabotropic glutamate receptor signaling, leading to opposing influences on cAMP response element-binding protein.

TL;DR: Estradiol regulation of CREB is characterized and two putative signaling mechanisms are provided that may account for many of the unexplained observations regarding the influence of estradiol on nervous system function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specification of transplantable astroglial subtypes from human pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: HPSC-derived neuroepithelia, patterned to rostral-caudal and dorsal-ventral identities with the same morphogens used for neuronal subtype specification, generate immature astrocytes that express distinct homeodomain transcription factors and display phenotypic differences of different astroglial subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Neural Development from Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Accelerated Synaptic Activity via Astrocyte Coculture

TL;DR: It is found that differentiating neuronal cells progressively decrease their resting membrane potential, gain characteristic Na+ and K+ currents, and fire mature action potentials by 7 weeks of differentiation, similar to the maturation pattern observed in animals, albeit on a greatly expanded time scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Medial ganglionic eminence–like cells derived from human embryonic stem cells correct learning and memory deficits

TL;DR: After transplantation into the hippocampus of mice in which BFCNs and some GABA neurons in the medial septum had been destroyed by mu P75-saporin, human MGE-like progenitor cells, but not ventral spinal progenitors, produced B FCNs that synaptically connected with endogenous neurons, whereas both progenators generated similar populations of GABA neurons.
