"These changes lead to strong expression of the motor neuron genes in nerve progenitor cells, converting them to motor neurons," said Lee. "What is striking is that the retinoic acid receptor uses ...

High-efficiency motor neuron differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells and the function of Islet-1. Nature Communications , 2014; 5 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4449 Cite This Page : ...

July 18, 2002 -- Beginning with cultured mouse embryonic stem cells, researchers have administered a precise mix of chemical signals to coax the cells to differentiate into functioning motor neurons.

The quest for treatments for motor neurone disease, spinal cord injury and strokes could be helped by new research that shows how key cells are produced. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh ...

Gene Find Sheds Light On Motor Neuron Diseases Like ALSScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2008) - Scientists have identified a gene in mice that plays a central role in the proper development of one of the nerve ...

Two versions of the product, both 96-well plates, will be made available. Lonza and California Stem Cell have launched MotorPlate™ Human ESC-derived Motor Neuron Progenitor products. The ...

Motor neurons are cells in your brain and spinal cord that help you walk, talk, and eat. Learn how damage to these cells could affect your movement and what your doctor can do to treat it.

In the new study, Qu discovered that adding the signaling molecules at Day 3 worked much better: The neural progenitor cells quickly and efficiently differentiated into motor neurons. This indicates ...

Scientists have identified a gene in mice that plays a central role in the proper development of one of the nerve cells that goes bad in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and ...

Researchers report they can generate human motor neurons from stem cells much more quickly and efficiently than previous methods allowed. The finding, described in Nature Communications, will aid ...
