A novel xenogeneic co-culture system to examine neuronal differentiation capability of various adult human stem cells.

BACKGROUND: Targeted differentiation of stem cells is mainly achieved by the sequential administration of defined growth factors and cytokines, although these approaches are quite artificial, cost-intensive and time-consuming. We now present a simple xenogeneic rat brain co-culture system which supp...
