What are good labs for a Developmental Biology Course?

What about taking an iPS cell line and differentiate them into certain cell types with growth factors / cytokines to promote such?

That would be awesome. Any easy way to get an iPS cell line though?

Make your own iPS line from e.g. MEFs by overexpressing the Yamanaka factors, colony picking and expanding. You'd need to supply the cells with ESC medium. Or you order a line from ATCC. Not exactly easy/cheap ways :D Maybe you ask neighboring labs if they have any?
