The hESC-derived cells can potentially be used to replace or restore different tissues including neuronal that have been damaged by disease or injury.<h4>Methodology and principal findings</h4>The cells of two different hESC lines were converted to neural rosettes using adherent and chemically defined conditions. The progenitor cells were exposed to retinoic acid (RA) or to hum ...[more]
