“…FGF signaling is triggered using the recombinant protein FGF8b ( Figure 2 ). This combination results in a high yield of vmDA progenitor cells capable of differentiating into vmDA neurons ( Cai et al, 2010 ; Kriks et al, 2011 ; Doi et al, 2012 ; Sanchez-Danes et al, 2012 ; Doi et al, 2014 ; Grealish et al, 2014 ; Grealish et al, 2015 ; Samata et al, 2015 ; Steinbeck et al, 2015 ; Samata et al, 2016 ; Adil et al, 2017 ; Niclis et al, 2017 ; Nolbrant et al, 2017 ; Wakeman et al, 2017 ; Xia et al, 2017 ; Fathi et al, 2018 ; Adler et al, 2019 ; Chang et al, 2019 ; Zygogianni et al, 2019 ; Mousavinejad et al, 2020 ; Schweitzer et al, 2020 ; Song et al, 2020 ; Kim T. W. et al, 2021 ; Xiong et al, 2021 ). Researchers like Perrier and his colleagues have focused on differentiation using SHH and FGF8 and found that approximately 60%–80% of beta tubulin III (TUJ1)-positive neurons express TH ( Perrier et al, 2004 ).…”
