These and other differences between hGDAsBMP and undifferentiated hGPCs and hGDAsCNTF, such as the marked differences in expression of axon growth inhibitory CSPGs and the expression of GDNF, may all contribute to creating a particularly effective cell type for promoting functional recovery in the traumatically injured adult central nervous system.

Some cells differentiated themselves into various types of the nerve cells (neurons) found in several brain regions, while others remained «neural progenitors,» creating a reservoir of potential neurons to be used later.

«Our approach could lead to a simpler method of creating iPSCs or could be used to directly reprogram skin cells into other cell types, such as heart cells or brain cells.»
