1. Mouse embryonic stem cell culture
<ol>
	<li>Prepare 0.1% gelatin coated cell culture dishes or plates.
	<ol>
		<li>Add 2 mL of sterilized 0.1% gelatin (0.1% w/v in water) to 60 mm cell culture dishes. Rock gently to ensure even coating of the cell culture dishes.</li>
		<li>Put the dishes into a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 &#176;C and allow coating for 1 h.</li>
		<li>Remove the 0.1% gelatin solution before seeding the cells. 
		NOTE: After removing the gelatin, there is no need to dry or wash the coated dishes.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Mouse embryonic stem cells (A2lox and 129) culture
	<ol>
		<li>Incubate mESCs (A2lox and 129) cells in the 0.1% gelatin coated 60 mm cell culture dishes in mESC growth medium at 37 &#176;C in a 5% CO2 incubator, respectively. The mESC growth medium consists of 85% knock-out Dulbecco&#39;s modified Eagle medium/nutrient mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12), 15% Knock-out serum replacement (KSR), 0.1 mM &#946;-mercaptoethanol (2ME), 2 mM GlutaMAX, 1% non-essential amino acid (NEAA), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P/S), 1000 U/mL leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), 10 nM CHIR-99021 (GSK-3 inhibitor) and 0.33 nM PD0325901 (MEK inhibitor). 
		CAUTION: &#946;-mercaptoethanol is flammable and has inhalation toxicity. Keep away from fire sources and wear a mask to avoid inhalation when use.</li>
		<li>Change the mESC growth medium daily for better growth of A2lox and 129.</li>
		<li>When the cells reach 80% confluence, remove the medium and add 1 mL of 0.1% trypsin to the dish. Gently rock for 30 s to ensure even cover of trypsin on all cells.</li>
		<li>Leave the cells for about 1 min to trypsinize and then remove the trypsin using a 1 mL pipette.</li>
		<li>Add 2 mL of mESC growth medium to the dish, pipette up and down several times to make a single cell suspension.</li>
		<li>Count the density of the cells in the suspension as accurately as possible using a hemocytometer.</li>
		<li>Divide the cells into 7 groups and induce differentiation using different protocols shown in Table 1.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
2. Differentiation from mESCs to NPCs
<ol>
	<li>Prepare 0.1% gelatin coated cell culture plates or coverslips.
	<ol>
		<li>Before use, prepare 0.1% gelatin coated 6-well plates or coverslips as in step 1.1.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Differentiation (Table 1)
	<ol>
		<li>Add 1.5 x 106 mESCs into a non-adhesive bacterial dish in 10 mL of basal differentiation medium I to allow for embryoid body formation at 37 &#176;C in a 5% CO2 incubator.</li>
		<li>After 2 days, transfer cell aggregates into 15 mL centrifuge tubes and let them settle by gravity.</li>
		<li>Remove the supernatant and add 10 mL of fresh basal differentiation medium I to resuspend the embryoid bodies. Replant them into a new non-adhesive bacterial dish and allow differentiation for another 2 days.</li>
		<li>Check the formation of embryoid bodies under the microscope (Figure 1A).</li>
		<li>Collect embryoid bodies as described in steps 2.2.2-2.2.3. Seed about 50 embryoid bodies in 2 mL of basal differentiation medium I per well onto 0.1% gelatin-coated 6-well plates.</li>
		<li>Prepare 1 mM all-trans retinoic acid (RA) stock (in DMSO) and store away from light in a -80 &#176;C freezer after sub-packaging. 
		NOTE: RA is unstable, and attention should be paid to keeping it away from light and reducing air contact during preparation of RA stock.</li>
		<li>For RA induction, add 2 &#181;L of RA stock into each well to make a final concentration of 1 &#181;M.</li>
		<li>Place the plate into the 5% CO2 incubator at 37 &#176;C and differentiate for another 4 days.</li>
		<li>Change the entire 2 mL of basal differentiation medium I (with 1 &#181;M RA) every 2 days.</li>
	</ol>

a technique for generating neural progenitor cells from mouse embryonic stem cells

This video demonstrates a method for the in vitro generation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). The mESCs are cultured in suspension to form embryoid bodies (EBs), which are then guided to differentiate into NPCs via retinoic acid treatment in an adherent culture.

Take mouse embryonic stem cells, or mESCs, suspended in a differentiation medium, and incubate.
In the suspension culture, mESCs aggregate to form a structure termed embryoid bodies or EBs.
EBs are three-dimensional aggregates that mimic a developing embryo and can be differentiated into neural cells.
Transfer the EBs into a tube and allow them to settle by gravity.
Remove the nutrient-depleted medium; resuspend the EBs in a fresh medium, and transfer them to a culture dish.
Incubate the suspension culture to facilitate the growth of EBs.
Transfer the EBs suspended in the medium onto a multiwell plate. The wells are coated with an adhesion protein, allowing the EBs to attach.
Introduce retinoic acid, which enters the cells and triggers the formation of a transcription complex.
The complex induces gene expression, promoting the differentiation of the cells into neural progenitor cells, or NPCs, which exhibit extended cellular processes.
