Efficient and cost-effective differentiation of induced neural crest cells from induced pluripotent stem cells using laminin 211.

Introduction: Neural crest cells (NCCs) are cell populations that originate during the formation of neural crest in developmental stages. They are characterized by their multipotency, self-renewal and migration potential. Given their ability to differentiate into various types of cells such as neurons and Schwann cells, NCCs hold promise for cell therapy applications.
