An Optimized Protocol for the Generation of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons under Defined Conditions

Summary: Here, we describe a xeno-free, feeder-free, and chemically defined protocol for the generation of ventral midbrain dopaminergic (vmDA) progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). This simple-to-follow protocol results in high yields of cryopreservable dopamine neurons across mult...
