NG2-glia as Multipotent Neural Stem Cells: Fact or Fantasy?
Cycling glial precursors-"NG2-glia"-are abundant in the developing and mature central nervous system (CNS). During development, they generate oligodendrocytes. In culture, they can revert to a multipotent state, suggesting that they might have latent stem cell potential that could be harnessed to treat neurodegenerative disease. This hope has been subdued recently by a series of fate-mapping st...
متن کاملMultipotent adult stem cells
Catherine Verfaillie et al., have filed a patent for a stem cell found in the bone marrow of adults that can develop into every single tissue type in the body. It was thought until now that only embryonic stem cells were able to do this, but experiments detailed in the patent show that the cells, dubbed multipotent adult progenitor cells (MACPs) have the potential to do this. (Patent WO0111011,...
متن کاملP-25: Characterization of Sheep Ovarian Multipotent Theca Stem Cells
Background Theca cells play important roles during folliculogenesis. They synthesize androgens, provide crosstalk with granulosa cells and oocytes during development, and provide structural support of the growing follicle to produce a mature and fertilizable oocyte. In children patients who are going to be ovariectomy, follicogenesis is at early stage and thus the follicles need to be mature in...
متن کاملFGF2 Concentration Regulates the Generation of Neurons and Glia from Multipotent Cortical Stem Cells
The embryonic cerebral cortex contains a population of stem-like founder cells capable of generating large, mixed clones of neurons and glia in vitro. We report that the default state of early cortical stem cells is neuronal, and that stem cells are heterogeneous in the number of neurons that they generate. In low fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) concentrations, most maintain this specification,...
متن کاملALS model glia can mediate toxicity to motor neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells.
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Di Giorgio et al. (2008) and Marchetto et al. (2008) culture motor neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells with astrocytes expressing mutant SOD1. In these human ALS models, motor neurons are selectively destroyed by mutant astrocyte-secreted factors, and potential neuroprotective pathways are revealed.
