Neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells in vitro: a road map to neurogenesis in the embryo.

BACKGROUND: The in vitro generation of neurons from embryonic stem (ES) cells is a promising approach to produce cells suitable for neural tissue repair and cell-based replacement therapies of the nervous system. Available methods to promote ES cell differentiation towards neural lineages attempt to...
