Session 3: Neural Induction of hPSCs Using the Embryoid Body Method

Learning Objectives

After this session, you will be able to:

  • Confidently apply key techniques and methodological considerations for embryoid body (EB)-based neural induction of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) to neural progenitor cells (NPCs)
  • Describe morphological features of cultures undergoing EB-based neural induction

Estimated time for completion: 1 hour 15 minutes
