“…ReLeSR was then aspirated, and cells were incubated in a 37°C incubator for 5 minutes before being collected and split at a 1:10 dilution in a new plate. Upon reaching 80% confluency, iPSCs were differentiated into motor neurons as per the protocol outlined by Du et al 11 . In brief, the natural developmental signaling factors were recapitulated with small molecules including Ascorbic acid (72132, StemCell technologies), CHIR99021 (72054, StemCell Technologies), DMH-1 (73634, StemCell Technologies), SB-431542 (72234, StemCell Technologies), Retinoic acid (R2625, Sigma, St. Louis, USA), Purmorphamine (72204, StemCell Technologies), ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632, 72304, StemCell technologies), and Compound E (73952, StemCell Technologies) using the protocol 26 .…”
