Our inability to derive the neuronal diversity that comprises posterior central nervous system (pCNS) using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) poses an impediment understanding neurodevelopment and disease in hindbrain spinal cord. Here, we establish a modular, monolayer differentiation paradigm recapitulates both rostrocaudal (R/C) dorsoventral (D/V) patterning, enabling derivation of diverse pCNS neurons with discrete regional specificity. First, neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) HOX...
Abstract After an amputation, advanced prosthetic limbs can be used to interface with the nervous system and restore motor function. Despite numerous breakthroughs in field, many of recent research advancements have not been widely integrated into clinical practice. This review highlights innovations neuromuscular implants—specifically those that skeletal muscle—which could improve translation technologies. Skeletal muscle provides a physiologic gateway harness amplify signals from system....
Summary Our inability to derive the vast neuronal diversity of posterior central nervous system (pCNS) using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) poses a major impediment understanding neurodevelopment and disease in hindbrain spinal cord. Here we establish modular differentiation paradigm that recapitulates patterning along both rostrocaudal (R/C) dorsoventral (D/V) axes pCNS, enabling derivation any phenotype with discrete regional specificity. First, neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) Hox...
