Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing substantially isolated neural cells, substantially isolated neural stem cells, substantially isolated neurons, substantially isolated glial cells, neural cells of cell pharmaceutical compositions, and neurodegenerative diseases or treatments for nerve damage. Background technique
[0002] At present, the production of nerve cells from embryonic stem cells is mainly carried out by the following four methods.
[0003] ① A method of treating suspension cultures of embryonic stem cell aggregates with retinoic acid and inducing their differentiation into various nerve cells [Bain, G. et al., Dev. Biol., 168: 642-657 ( 1995)]
[0004] ② After preparing embryoid bodies [called EBs] and culturing the EBs with serum-free medium to obtain neuroepithelial stem cell protein-positive neural stem cells, in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), A method for culturing the neural stem cells and...
