This new model, in contrast, recapitulates the development of all three sections of embryonic brain and spinal cord simultaneously—something that has not been achieved in previous models.

Using signal molecules known to be involved in the generation of embryonic astrocytes during spinal cord development, the researchers were able to make pure cultures of two different types of ...
