- SMAD inhibition method for neural progenitor cell (NPC) generation
- Cell seeding density for neuronal differentiation (200,000 cells/12 well or 500,000 cells/6 well)
- Neuronal differentiation
- Proliferation of remaining NPCs
- Growth media (StemFlex media for hiPSCs, DMEM/F12 base media for neuronal differentiation)
- Extracellular matrix coatings (Cultrex for hiPSCs, polyornithine/laminin for NPCs, Matrigel for NPC maintenance, laminin for neuronal differentiation)
- Passaging and splitting protocols (ReLeSR for hiPSCs, manual rosette selection and expansion for NPCs)
- Supplements (B27, N2, penicillin/streptomycin, BDNF)
- Duration of neuronal differentiation (6-11 weeks post NPC stage)

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
