Abstract:The method of ectopic transplantation of embryonic anlages of CNS allows studying histoblastic potencies of progenitor cells developing under conditions of changed microenvironment. Some progenitor cells in the transplants of rat embryonic spinal cord retained their ability to express choline acetyltransferase after transplantation into the sciatic nerve of adult animals. Comparative analysis of cholinergic neurons in the neurotransplants and neurons formed in rat spinal cord during normal ontogeny showed that… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
