Abstract:The direct conversion of adult human skin fibroblasts (FBs) into induced neurons (iNs) represents a useful technology to generate donor-specific adult-like human neurons. Disease modeling studies rely on the consistently efficient conversion of relatively large cohorts of FBs. Despite the identification of several small molecular enhancers, high-yield protocols still demand addition of recombinant Noggin. To identify a replacement to circumvent the technical and economic challenges associated with Noggin, we a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
