Abstract

What are the cellular and molecular processes underlying neural developmental events during embryogenesis? How can we manipulate a human pluripotent stem cell to a neural lineage of interest? Can the in vitro generated neural cells hold the potentiality for replacement therapy in neurological disorders?
