Abstract |
Progenitor cell populations derived from human embryonic stem cells
(hESCs) can serve as a renewable source of physiologically relevant human
primary neural cells for basic research and drug discovery. Repeated
derivation of neural progenitors from hESCs can lead to increased
variability, along with the difficulty and expense of hESC culture.
Millipore's new ENStem-A cells offer an attractive alternative: they
proliferate as an adherent monolayer in serum-free, feeder-free conditions.
Here we discuss the characteristics and functional assays in which ENStem-A
cells can be used.
