ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides in vitro systems for use in identifying modulators of neural differentiation. Also provided are modulators identified by these systems. The present invention further provides methods for identifying a modulator of neural differentiation, a modulator of a Wnt signalling pathway, a modulator of Wnt-dependent neural differentiation, a modulator of a BMP signalling pathway, a modulator of BMP-dependent neural differentiation, a modulator of a Hh signalling pathway, and a modulator of Hh-dependent neural differentiation. Also provided are modulators identified by these methods.
