Matrix cells from Wharton's jelly form neurons and glia.
We have identified an easily attainable source of primitive, potentially multipotent stem cells from Wharton's jelly, the matrix of umbilical cord. Wharton's jelly cells have been propagated in culture for more than 80 population doublings. Several markers for stem cells, including c-kit (CD117), and telomerase activity are expressed in these cells. Treatment with basic fibroblast growth factor...
متن کاملDevelopment of neurons and glia.
The process by which a mature animal is produced from a single cell has fascinated and puzzled scientists and non-scientists alike for centuries. The nervous system took center stage in many of the pioneering studies on animal development, and neurodevelopment can trace its modern origins back to studies by Wilhem His and Ramon y Cajal in the 1800s. The stereotyped nature of developmental proce...
متن کاملAn in Vitro Pathway from Es Cells to Neurons and Glia
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells can be induced to differentiate into neurons and glia in vitro. Induction protocols are straightforward and involve culture in the presence of retinoic acid. They result in an efficient conversion of undifferentiated ES cells to neural cells. Mature neurons produced have the key physiological, morphological and molecular properties of primary cultured neurons der...
متن کاملFGF2 Concentration Regulates the Generation of Neurons and Glia from Multipotent Cortical Stem Cells
The embryonic cerebral cortex contains a population of stem-like founder cells capable of generating large, mixed clones of neurons and glia in vitro. We report that the default state of early cortical stem cells is neuronal, and that stem cells are heterogeneous in the number of neurons that they generate. In low fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) concentrations, most maintain this specification,...
متن کاملSynapses: Glia help synapses form and function
Glial cells and neurons are intimately juxtaposed throughout the nervous systems of all higher animals. Some instances of functional partnership between glial cells and neurons — such as the electrical insulator role of the myelinating Schwann cell — are very well understood, but most are only beginning to be explored. Many structural, biochemical and physiological clues have pointed to the syn...
