Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in the isolation and characterization of neural precursor cells suggest that they have properties that would make them useful transplants for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. We demonstrate here that spinal cord cells isolated from embryonic day 14 Sprague-Dawley and Fischer 344 rats possess characteristics of precursor cells. They proliferate as undifferentiated neurospheres in...
