General description

LMX-1 is a transcription factor that belongs to the LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) transcription factor family. It is induced within the ventral midbrain as a response to early signaling. LMX-1 is a necessary component for the development of the roof plate and for CNS dorsal cell date specification and the development of vertebrae. It is Expressed in roof plate, an organizational locus found in the dorsal CNS that functions to moderate the differentiation and specification of adjacent neurons through the secretion of signaling molecules such as WNT and BMP. Recent studies have indicated that LMX-1 has high potential for stimulating the production of mesencephalic dopamine neurons(mesDA) for the therapeutic treatment Parkinson disease, a condition characterized by dopaminergic neurotransmission decline resulting from the progression of mesDA neuronal degeneration within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN).

STAR protocols, 1(2), 100065-100065 (2020-10-29)
Here, we describe a xeno-free, feeder-free, and chemically defined protocol for the generation of ventral midbrain dopaminergic (vmDA) progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). This simple-to-follow protocol results in high yields of cryopreservable dopamine neurons across multiple hPSC lines.

Human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide sources for midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neural progenitors (NPCs) for cell therapy to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, the well-known line-to-cell line variability in the differentiation capacity

Stem cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease are a promising approach in regenerative medicine and are now moving towards early stage clinical trials. However, a number of challenges remain including the ability to grow stem cells in vitro

Single-cell RNA sequencing allows defining molecularly distinct cell subpopulations. However, the identification of specific sets of transcription factors (TFs) that define the identity of these subpopulations remains a challenge. Here we propose that subpopulation identity emerges from the synergistic activity
