Abstract excerpt
The neurosphere culture system is widely used to expand neural stem/progenitor cells in vitro and to provide a source of cells for transplantation approaches to CNS disorders. This study describes the populations of neurones, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes which differentiated from embryonic day (E) 14 rat cortical and striatal tissue grown as neurosphere cultures over three passages. The percentages of cells...
