Rat Fetal Neural Stem Cells

Description

Superior performance in adherent and spheroid cultures. >75% of the cells retain their undifferentiated Phenotype. Supports differentiation into Neurons, Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes.
 
Gibco® Rat Fetal Neural Stem Cells enable superior performance in both adherent cell culture in a matrix and suspended neurosphere cultures. The cells are isolated from the cortex of Sprague-Dawley at day E14 of gestation. Each vial contains 2 × 10^6 viable cells⁄ml. For optimal growth performance, we recommend culturing and expanding the cells in StemPro® NSC SFM (sku #: A1050901) media. Upon proliferation in StemPro® NSC SFM, >75% of the cells retain their undifferentiated Phenotype and can be differentiated into Neurons, Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes.

Neural Stem Cells (NSC) are self renewing multipotent stem cells of nervous system that can differentiate into neurons, oliogdendrocyte and astrocyte. Multipotent neural stem cells can be isolated from fetal or adult central nervous system or derived from embryonic stem cells. In development, neurogenesis takes place third to fourth week of gestation and continued in specific region of our central nervous system. Because of their property to generate neurons and glial, NSC is a valuable source not only for neuroscience but also for clinical use to treat neurodegenerative disease or neurological disorder. Adult derived NSC tends to be regionally restricted and have limited plasticity compared to fetal derived NSC.
