Preparation of human iPSC-derived cortical neuronal progenitors for transplantation into the rodent brain

Output Details

Description
This protocol describes how we prepare human iPSC-derived cells, that have been differentiated into cortical neuronal progenitors, for transplantation into the brain of immunocompromised athymic mice. Neuronal progenitors mature within the mouse brain and are used to study the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.
