Comparison of neuroepithelial cells and regionally specified astrocytes from human embryonic stem cells. Homo sapiens

These arrays were conducted in order to confirm the generation of astrocytes from human embryonic stem cells and to determine expression differences between astrocyte subtypes. Overall design: Human embryonic stem cells were differentated in vitro to neuroepithelial cells (day-17), or astrocytes (day-210) after specification with the morphogens retinoic acid (RA) or FGF8 from days 10-21.
