title: Efficient derivation of basal progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells for modeling esophageal development
design: We perfomred global transcriptomic profiling of E12.5 mouse embryonic esophageal epithelia, human fetal esophageal epthelia and human embryonic stem cell RUES2-derived esophageal progenitor cells. We found that these cells shared similar expression of NOTCH components including Jag1 and 2, Dll1, 3 and 4, and Notct1, 3, 4.
