Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic effects of GDNF and VEGF on lifespan and disease progression in a familial ALS rat model.

TL;DR: A combined ex vivo delivery of GDNF and VEGF in extending survival and protecting neuromuscular junctions and motor neurons showed a strong synergistic effect, which further support ex vivo gene therapy approaches for ALS that target skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restricted growth potential of rat neural precursors as compared to mouse.

TL;DR: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) alone did not lead to an expansion in rat striatal precursor cell number under the conditions used here, and EGF combined with FGF-1 acted synergistically on cell growth, but did not prevent the final senescence and death of the rat precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutamate enhances proliferation and neurogenesis in human neural progenitor cell cultures derived from the fetal cortex.

TL;DR: It is shown that glutamate can significantly increase the proliferation rates of human neural progenitor cells (hNPC), and whether the glutamate‐responsive hNPC had an increased potential for neurogenesis is found, and it is suggested that glutamate stimulates the division of human progenitors cells with neurogenic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

EZ spheres: a stable and expandable culture system for the generation of pre-rosette multipotent stem cells from human ESCs and iPSCs

TL;DR: A simple method to generate and expand multipotent, self-renewing pre-rosette neural stem cells from both human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells without utilizing embryoid body formation, manual selection techniques, or complex combinations of small molecules is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced pluripotent stem cells: a new revolution for clinical neurology?

TL;DR: An exciting new avenue for neurological research and drug development is the discovery that patients' somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state; these cells are known as induced pluripotency stem cells.
