Abstract

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a model to study early neural development, model pathological processes, and develop therapeutics. The generation of functionally specialized neural subtypes from hPSCs relies on fundamental developmental principles learned from animal studies. Manipulation of these principles enables production of highly enriched neural types with functional attributes that resemble those in the brain. Further development to promote faster maturation or aging as well as circuit integration will help realize the potential of hPSC-derived neural cells in disease modeling and cell therapy.

  • Differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into neural cells recapitulates many neurodevelopmental features observed in prenatal human tissue and occurs in a temporal sequence that roughly corresponds to in vivo corticogenesis.

    “Although these models come with their own limitations, including variability and limited functional maturation (Box 1), the differentiation of iPSCs into neural cells recapitulates many of the neurodevelopmental features observed in prenatal human tissue and occurs in a temporal sequence that roughly corresponds to in vivo corticogenesis29–31.”

    From Consequences of trisomy 21 for brain development in Down syndrome (2024) · cites this paper as [29]

    The Challenges and future directions sections say hPSC neural differentiation mirrors in vivo development and that derived neurons resemble fetal-brain neurons in gene-expression profiles. The subtype-progenitor section describes a cortical sequence matching development, but its stem-cell example uses mouse ESCs; it does not establish that human iPSC-derived cortical cells follow that sequence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
