   Researchers have differentiated hESCs into forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. However, observing cell interpretation of signals to form dorsal-ventral patterning tissues with sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene is necessary. We used micropatterning within different timeframes to determine how cell fates...

2. Neutral Pattering of Stem Cells

   Animations | 20 Aug 2022 | Contributor(s):: Donna Booker, Rice University

   How do cells pattern and establish the complex structures of the brain? How does a cell know that it will be part of the forebrain or the hindbrain? By using embryonic stem cells, this project focuses on researching how proteins and genes interact with each other to establish instructions...
