Abstract excerpt
To define relationships among marrow stromal cells (MSCs), multipotential progenitors, committed precursors, and derived neurons, we examined differentiation, mitosis, and apoptosis in vitro. Neural induction medium morphologically converted over 70% of MSCs to typical neurons, which expressed tau, neuronal nuclear antigen, neuron-specific enolase, and TUC-4 within 24 hours. A subset decreased fibronectin...
