Cecal growth factors promote enteric neurosphere formation and hindgut colonization in the avian model [PDF]
IntroductionThe enteric nervous system (ENS) originates from neural crest cells (NCC) that migrate along the developing gut and differentiate into enteric neurons and glial cells.

Isolation and Culture of Neurospheres for the Study of Pathogenesis of Prion Disease [PDF]
Neurosphere contains neural stem cells that are capable of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes (Gage, 2000).

Inhibition of Neurosphere Formation in Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells by Acrylamide
Previous studies showed that transplantation of cultured neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) could improve functional recovery for various neurological diseases. This study aims to develop a stem cell-based model for predictive toxicology of development

The hippocampal niche is one of two areas in the brain where stem cells reside. In this neurogenic niche, stem cells can be found in close proximity to astrocytes and in contact with microvessels consisting of pericytes and endothelial cells.

Scientific Validation of Human Neurosphere Assays for Developmental Neurotoxicity Evaluation [PDF]
There is a call for a paradigm shift in developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) evaluation, which demands the implementation of faster, more cost-efficient, and human-relevant test systems than current in vivo guideline studies.

Neurosphere Based Differentiation of Human iPSC Improves Astrocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are traditionally maintained and proliferated utilizing two‐dimensional (2D) adherent monolayer culture systems. However, NPCs cultured using this system hardly reflect the intrinsic spatial development of brain tissue.

Aging restricts the initial neural patterning potential of developing neural stem and progenitor cells in the adult brain [PDF]
IntroductionNeurosphere culture is widely used to expand neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) of the nervous system. Understanding the identity of NSPCs, such as the principals involved in spatiotemporal patterning, will improve our chances of using ...

Human Patient-Derived Brain Tumor Models to Recapitulate Ependymoma Tumor Vasculature
Despite in vivo malignancy, ependymoma lacks cell culture models, thus limiting therapy development. Here, we used a tunable three-dimensional (3D) culture system to approximate the ependymoma microenvironment for recapitulating a patient’s tumor in ...

Generation of Porcine Induced Neural Stem Cells Using the Sendai Virus
The reprogramming of cells into induced neural stem cells (iNSCs), which are faster and safer to generate than induced pluripotent stem cells, holds tremendous promise for fundamental and frontier research, as well as personalized cell-based therapies ...

Prion infection of mouse neurospheres [PDF]
Only a few cell lines have been infected with prions, offering limited genetic diversity and sensitivity to several strains. Here we report that cultured neurospheres expressing cellular prion protein (PrP C ) can be infected with prions. Neurosphere lines isolated from the brains of mice at embryonic day 13–15 grow
