Abstract

The fate of human fetal stem/progenitor cells transplanted into rat brain depends on conditions of preculturing (long or short) and state and site of transplantation. Human nestin-positive stem cells cultured according to the short protocol did not migrate into hypoxic and normal brain after transplantation, but actively migrated in damaged spinal cord. After transplantation of long-cultured cells into the brain mainly committed neuroblasts and solitary nestin-positive cells migrated from the site of transplantation into the brain.
