Wnt signal activation induces midbrain specification through direct binding of the beta-catenin/TCF4 complex to the EN1 promoter in human pluripotent stem cells

Brain development: Specifying differentiation into midbrain cells An evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway triggers the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into functional midbrain neurons. Dong-Wook Kim at Yonsei University, South Korea, and colleagues explored the mechanis...
