Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of neurosphere-derived cells is regulated by extracellular cues, namely, growth factors and proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study we analyzed the influence of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), retinoic acid plus potassium chloride (RA-KCl), and the nonsynthetic ECMs laminin (LN) and fibronectin (FN) versus the synthetic adhesion substrate...
