Lost in Space Misregulated Positional Cues Create Tripotent Neural Progenitors in Cell Culture

چکیده

In a widely held view of vertebrate CNS development, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes arise from a common tripotent progenitor cell. However, tripotent progenitors have never been detected in developing embryos. In this issue of Neuron, Gabay et al. show that tripotent progenitors can be created in vitro by deregulation of normal dorsoventral positional cues.

Fingolimod Enhances Oligodendrocyte Differentiation of Transplanted Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neural Progenitors

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which affects myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) and leads to serious disability. Currently available treatments for MS mainly suppress the immune system. Regenerative medicine-based approaches attempt to increase myelin repair by targeting endogenous progenitors or transplanting stem cells or their derivatives. Fingolimod exerts anti-inf...

The Proliferation Study of hiPS Cell-Derived Neuronal Progenitors on Poly-Caprolactone Scaffold

Introduction: The native inability of nervous system to regenerate, encourage researchers to consider neural tissue engineering as a potential treatment for spinal cord injuries. Considering the suitable characteristics of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for tissue regeneration applications, in this study we investigated the adhesion, viability and proliferation of neural progenitors (de...

Diagnosis of brain tumor using PNN neural networks

Cells grow and then need a very neat method to create new cells that work properly to maintain the health of the body. When the ability to control the growth of the cells is lost, they are unconsidered and often divided without order. Exemplified cells form a tissue mass called the tumor. In fact, brain tumors are abnormal and uncontrolled cell proliferations. Segmentation methods are used in b...

High neuronal/astroglial differentiation plasticity of adult rat hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells in response to the effects of embryonic and adult cerebrospinal fluids

Hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hipp-NS/PCs) of the adult mammalian brain are important sources of neuronal and gial cell production. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the plasticity of these cells in neuronal/astroglial differentiations. To this end, the differentiation of the hipp-NS/PCs isolated from 3-month-old Wistar rats was investigated in response to the embryonic...
