Human cerebral cortex development from pluripotent stem cells to functional excitatory synapsesAs Nature Neuroscience reports, there was developed a robust, multistep process for human cortical development from pluripotent stem cells: directed differentiation of human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to cortical stem and progenitor cells, followed by an extended period of cortical neurogenesis, neuronal terminal differentiation to acquire mature electrophysiological properties, and functional excitatory synaptic network formation. There was founded that induction of cortical neuroepithelial stem cells from human ES cells and iPS cell differentiation to cerebral cortex recapitulated in vivo development to generate all classes of cortical projection neurons in a fixed temporal order. This system enables functional studies of human cerebral cortex development and the generation of individual-specific cortical networks ex vivo for disease modeling and therapeutic purposes. http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v15/n3/full/nn.3041.html |
