Taurine Enhances the Growth of Neural Precursors Derived from Fetal Human Brain and Promotes Neuronal Specification
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Taurine is present at high concentrations in the fetal brain and is required for optimal brain development. Recent studies have reported that taurine causes increased proliferation of neural stem/progenitor neural cells (neural precursor cells, NPCs) obtained from embryonic and adult rodent brain. The present study is the first to show that taurine markedly increases cell numbers in cultures and neuronal...
