D0–9: EBs was placed on ECM-coated substrate in basal medium

D10–25: transwell culture in CEnCM

Report the derivation of CEnC-like cells hESCs through the POMP

McCabe et al./2015/88

ESCs

CEnCs

D0–3: ESCs cultured in ES medium + SMAD inhibitors (Noggin, SB43152). D4-D10: ES medium + PDGF + DKK2

Global gene analysis revealed the ES-derived CEnCs similar to their in vivo counterparts

ESCs/iPSCs

CEnCs

D27

D0–2: cultured in priming medium

D3–9: EFSC generation

D10–18: NCSC derivation

D19–27: NCSCs differentiated to CEC

Generate CEnC from PSCs under defined culture conditions following a multi-step differentiation process
