New paper from @IsabelleLuzy @cns_repair @ClareParish2 & @TheFlorey colleagues reports on identifying the optimal developmental age of human pluripotent stem cell-derived midbrain dopaminergic progenitors for transplantation in a rodent #Parkinsons model sciencedirect.com/science/articlā¦
Stellar effort from @ry_lister and @chuckherring. Here they develop a transcriptomic atlas of PFC development from embryogenesis to post-natal in human fetal brain. They cross-reference to hPSC-derived cortical organoids and identify some cells types reach a post-natal age. Cool!
Self-organizing systems have been one of the most exciting recent advances in stem cell research However, many names & classifications are used making it challenging to convey the science We now got together as a field to provide a nomenclature framework Out in @Nature todayš1/9
