Activin Is Superior to BMP7 for Efficient Maintenance of Human iPSC-Derived Nephron Progenitors

Summary: Kidney formation is regulated by the balance between maintenance and differentiation of nephron progenitor cells (NPCs). Now that directed differentiation of NPCs from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be achieved, maintenance and propagation of NPCs in vitro should be benefi...
