Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is an effective treatment for neonatal hy- poxic-ischemic brain damage. However, the in vivo transplantation effects are poor and their survival, colonization and diff...
This study aimed to investigate the neural differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) under the induction of injured neural cells. After in vitro isolation and culture, passage 5 hUCMSC...
We induced human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) to differentiate into neural cells by adding chemical reagents, despite the fact that toxic chemicals induce cell shrinkage or cytoskeletal formation...
