Abstract:, Dev Dyn 238:302-314) Multipotent neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) are touted for their therapeutic potential in treating diseases of the nervous system. Here, Chiu and colleagues describe an improved method for isolating cell populations enriched for NSPCs. Previously, they showed that an isoform of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), FGF1B, is selectively expressed in NSPC habitats including the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. Here, they tested whether an FGF1B-green fluorescent protein (F1B-GFP) rep… Show more
