Neuromesodermal progenitors and the making of the spinal cord

D Henrique, E Abranches, L Verrier…�- Development, 2015 - journals.biologists.com
Neuromesodermal progenitors (NMps) contribute to both the elongating spinal cord and the
adjacent paraxial mesoderm. It has been assumed that these cells arise as a result of�…

[HTML][HTML] Neural Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells In Vitro: A Road Map to Neurogenesis in the Embryo

E Abranches, M Silva, L Pradier, H Schulz, O Hummel…�- PloS one, 2009 - journals.plos.org
