Turning Blood into Brain: Cells Bearing Neuronal Antigens Generated in Vivo from Bone Marrow
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow stem cells give rise to a variety of hematopoietic lineages and repopulate the blood throughout adult life. We show that, in a strain of mice incapable of developing cells of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, transplanted adult bone marrow cells migrated into the brain and differentiated into cells that expressed neuron-specific antigens. These findings raise the possibility that bone marrow-derived...
