Stem cells with brainpower. Two studies demonstrate the efficient generation of brain cells from human ES cells

Article Abstract:

Human stem cells have been grown in the lab and show the possibility of generating all manner of cells, including brain cells. Introduction to articles in this issue by Zhang et al, and Reubinoff et al.

Migration and differentiation of neural precursors derived from human embryonic stem cells in the rat brain

Article Abstract:

A study carried out on the human embryonic stem (hES) cells provides a potentially unlimited cell source for regenerative medicine. It reports that hES cell-derived neural precursors differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the normal and lesioned brain of young adult rats and migrate extensively along white matter tracts.
