Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Neural stem/progenitor cells from human fetal brain were grown in a tissue culture and transplanted into traumatized spinal cord of adult rats. The behavior and differentiation of transplanted cells were studied morphologically by means of histological and immunohistochemical methods and confocal microscopy. Human neural stem/progenitor cells were viable for not less than 3 months. They migrated and differentiated into neurons and glia in the traumatized spinal cord of adult rats.
