Neural differentiation is a complex process that requires highly accurate spatial and temporal regulation by extracellular and intracellular programs. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, covalent histone posttranscriptional modifications, chromatin organization, and noncoding regulatory RNA, are key regulators of pluripotency maintenance and differentiation. The misregulation of these mechanisms could lead to neurological diseases and cancer.
