Differentiation protocol and maturation shape the axial identity and synaptic state in human iPSC-derived spinal motor neurons

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons are widely used for disease modeling. Stem cells can be differentiated into motor neurons by exposure to specific patterning morphogens, which can ultimately determine terminal cellular composition and developmental state. We compared two small molecule w...
