  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING INDUCED NEURON GENERATION
    Publication number: 20160115447
    Abstract: The present inventions relate to methods and compositions useful for improving the efficiency of inducing the generation of neurons from non-neuronal cell types, for example, by contacting the cell or cell culture medium with one or more agents which inhibit Activin and/or PLK1 signaling. Also disclosed are methods for promoting neuron survival, for example, by inhibiting Activin and/or PLK1 signaling, and methods for promoting the survival of intermediates in a cell differentiation pathway, for example, by inhibiting Activin and/or PLK1 signaling.
