Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported the isolation of an EGF-responsive precursor from the embryonic and adult mouse striatum. This precursor exhibits self renewal and the ability to produce a sphere of undifferentiated cells which can be induced to differentiate into neurons and glia. RT-PCR analysis of these spheres of undifferentiated cells revealed the expression of mRNA for the trkB neurotrophin receptor, both with...
