Abstract:
Choroid plexus epithelial cells are generated in a culture medium using embryonic stem cells and adding an effective amount of bone morphogenetic protein and/or other members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. Generation of such choroid plexus epithelial cells are confirmed using a combination of genetic markers, antibodies, histology inspection, functional assays, and integration into the endogenous choroid plexus in mice.
