Enriched population of PNS neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells as a platform for studying peripheral neuropathies.

BACKGROUND:The absence of a suitable cellular model is a major obstacle for the study of peripheral neuropathies. Human embryonic stem cells hold the potential to be differentiated into peripheral neurons which makes them a suitable candidate for this purpose. However, so far the potential of hESC t...
