Essentially, they represent alternative ways of obtaining desired cell types like heart cells, liver cells and, of course, neurons and glia. (abcam.com)
Drive discovery and translational efforts to support projects aimed at optimizing the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into desired cell types (asteriasbiotherapeutics.com)
Although we did not explicitly test the activity of species - specific enhancers, such as those derived from certain classes of repetitive elements, our results strongly suggest that SIF - seq can be used to identify enhancers from other mammalian genomes where desired cell types are difficult or impossible to obtain.» (sciencedaily.com)
