New publication from Mark Denham's group - Multipotent caudal neural progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells that give rise to lineages of the central and peripheral nervous system

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be directed into most cell types of the body. Our aim is to understand the signalling pathways that are required to direct their fate toward cell types of the nervous system. This study is the first to identify a multipotent neural progenitor derived from hPSCs, that gives rise to lineages of the central and peripheral nervous system. This study was done in collaboration with Dr Mirella Dottori, University of Melbourne.
