Defects in neural crest development have been implicated in many human disorders, but information about human neural crest formation mostly depends on extrapolation from model organisms. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be differentiated into in vitro counterparts of the neural crest, and some of the signals known to induce neural crest formation in vivo are required during this process. However, the protocols in current use tend to produce variable results, and there is no consensus as to the precise signals required for optimal neural crest differentiation. Using a fully defined culture system, we have now found that the efficient differentiation of hPSCs to neural crest depends on precise levels of BMP signaling, which are vulnerable to fluctuations in endogenous BMP production. We present a method that controls for this phenomenon and could be applied to other systems where endogenous signaling can also affect the outcome of differentiation protocols. Fully defined and xeno-free differentiation of hPSCs into neural crest Cultures exhibit a response to BMP that is analogous to ectodermal patterning in vivo Endogenous BMP signaling can affect reproducibility of differentiation A broadly applicable system that controls for variable contribution of endogenous BMP Hackland and colleagues have developed a method for the generation of human neural crest cells that allows their use in clinical applications. Their method allows for greater control over the environment of the cells by managing the influence of cell-produced signals, and this approach could be applied to other systems.
