  • Directed Neural Differentiation
    Publication number: 20080248568
    Abstract: Differentiation towards a neural fate, and away from a non-neural fate, is promoted by activation of Notch signalling in ES cells and then transferring the cells into neural differentiation protocols. Media for neural differentiation comprises a Notch activator, e.g. a notch ligand that can be clustered. Genetic manipulation is used as an alternative to media additives for Notch activation.
