Differentiation of human adult-derived stem cells towards a neural lineage involves a de-differentiation event prior to re-differentiation to neural phenotypes
2021-02-05
Abstract excerpt
Although it has been reported that mesenchymal stem cells isolated from adult tissues can be induced to overcome their mesenchymal fate and transdifferentiate into neural cells, the findings and their interpretation have been challenged. The main argument against this process is that the cells rapidly adopt neuron-like morphologies through retraction of the cytoplasm rather than active neurite extension. In this s...
