Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the fields of cell biology and neuroectodermal and glial lineage cells (eg, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells). More specifically, the present disclosure relates to novel methods for differentiating pluripotent stem cells into neuroectoderm in dynamic suspension culture using small molecule or protein inhibitors of TGFβ / Activin / Nodal signaling and BMP signaling. The present disclosure further provides novel methods for differentiating pluripotent stem cells (eg, human embryonic stem cells) first into neuroectoderm, then further into glial progenitor cells, and further into oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. The present disclosure further relates to neuroectodermal cells, glial progenitor cells and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells expressing one or more markers produced by the methods according to the present invention. Background technique
[0002] Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are a subset of glial cells in t...
