Abstract excerpt
Neurospheres from adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) were grown in suspension cultures for 12-15 days. Neurospheres consisted mainly of neural precursor cells (NPCs) immunoreactive for nestin and also contained nestin-negative precursors. We used these neurospheres to determine the effects of synthetic beta-amyloid fragments (both betaAP(1-42) and betaAP(25-35)) on NPC proliferation, differentiation and...
