TLDR
It is shown that developmentally relevant signaling factors can induce mouse embryonic stem cells to differentiate into spinal progenitor cells, and subsequently into motor neurons, through a pathway recapitulating that used in vivo.

Next-Generation Regenerative Medicine: Organogenesis from Stem Cells in 3D Culture

Yoshiki Sasai
- 02 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: Recent discoveries about the dynamic patterning and structural self-formation of complex organ buds in 3D stem cell culture, including the generation of various neuroectodermal and endodermal tissues are covered.
Book ChapterDOI

Defined conditions for neural commitment and differentiation.

TL;DR: This simple culture system is amenable to cellular and molecular dissection, promising to yield new insights into the mechanism underlying neural determination in mammals and perhaps to deliver the goal of "directed" homogeneous differentiation of ES cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinoic-acid-concentration-dependent acquisition of neural cell identity during in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: It is suggested that the concentration of RA strictly and simultaneously regulates the neuralization and positional specification during differentiation of mouse ES cells and that it may be possible to use it to establish a strategy for controlling the identity of ES-cell-derived neural cells.

Mammalian neural stem cells.

TL;DR: Before the full potential of neural stem cells can be realized, the authors need to learn what controls their proliferation, as well as the various pathways of differentiation available to their daughter cells.

Cyclopia and defective axial patterning in mice lacking Sonic hedgehog gene function.

TL;DR: Targeted gene disruption in the mouse shows that the Sonic hedgehog(Shh) gene plays a critical role in patterning of vertebrate embryonic tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, the axial skeleton and the limbs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone marrow cells adopt the phenotype of other cells by spontaneous cell fusion

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mouse bone marrow cells can fuse spontaneously with embryonic stem cells in culture in vitro that contains interleukin-3, which, without detailed genetic analysis, might be interpreted as ‘dedifferentiation’ or transdifferentiation.

Neuronal specification in the spinal cord: inductive signals and transcriptional codes

TL;DR: The mechanisms that specify the identity of neural cells have been examined in many regions of the nervous system and reveal a high degree of conservation in the specification of cell fate by key signalling molecules.

In vitro differentiation of transplantable neural precursors from human embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: In vitro differentiation, enrichment, and transplantation of neural precursor cells from human ES cells are described, depicting humanES cells as a source of transplantable neural precursors for possible nervous system repair.
