For all those stem cells biologists differentiating hPSCs to neurons, want to know how the epigenetic memory of the donor tissue affects subsequent differentiation? We explore this in our recent paper 👇

Epigenetic memory of Lateral Ganglionic Eminence derived hiPSCs cannot overcome barriers in authentic MSN differentiation
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have previously been shown to retain some of the epigenetic features associated with the tissues from which they were derived, which in turn can help the iPSCs t...

Cell therapies are in clinical trial for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and other CNS indications. Here we show that glucose deprivation causes rapid cell death, more so than oxygen deprivation. Improving access to glucose in grafts could improve graft survival
