Phenotypic characterization of neural stem cells from human fetal spinal cord: synergistic effect of LIF and BMP4 to generate astrocytes.

Glia - 15 Aug 2007

Weible Michael W, Chan-Ling Tailoi

Abstract excerpt

If cell based therapy for spinal cord injury is to become a reality, greater insights into the biology of human derived spinal cord stem cells are a prerequisite. Significant species differences and regional specification of stem cells necessitates determining the effects of growth factors on human spinal cord stem cells. Fetal spinal cords were dissociated and expanded as neurospheres in medium with bone...
