Introduction
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been useful to generate differentiated progenies for cell replacement therapy, and disease models. The Parkinson’s Disease (PD) field was arguably one of the first to have embraced the promise of stem cells. However, regardless of the differentiation protocols used, cultures and grafts continue to contain multiple cell types with midbrain dopamine (mDA) neural progenitors (NPs) and neurons representing only a fraction of total cells in the dish or graft. During cell differentiation, recruitment of transcription factors (TFs) to repressed genes in euchromatin is essential to activate new transcriptional programs, which is impeded by condensed …

Introduction
- International studies find socioeconomic status (SES) to be predictive of functional impairment after stroke.1,2
- Lower socioeconomic status (LSE) is associated with increased severity of stroke onset, higher incidence of risk factors, and worse outcomes.3
- We sought to confirm the predictive significance of SES on acute ischemic stroke patient outcomes at a large urban, U.S. stroke center.
