Aislamiento de células neurales madre / progenitoras de la región periventricular de la rata de Adultos y de la médula espinal humana

The adult mammalian spinal cord contains neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) that can be isolated and expanded in culture. This protocol describes the harvesting, isolation, culture, and passaging of NSPCs generated from the periventricular region of the adult spinal cord from the rat and from human organ transplant donors.
