Stem cells have also been identified in human milk, and have the potential to differentiate into mammary epithelial lineages under mammary differentiation conditions in vitro, as well as other cell types in corresponding microenvironments, including bone cells, brain cells, liver cells, pancreatic beta cells and heart cells.

Scientists headed by Dr. Stevens Rehen differentiated human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into neural stem cells and into further complex tridimensional structures, known as neurospheres and brain organoids.

In this study, Cherqui's team transplanted wildtype HSPCs into an FA mouse model, reporting that the HSPCs engrafted and soon differentiated into macrophages in key regions of the mice's brain and spinal cord where they appeared to transfer wildtype FXN into deficient neurons and muscle cells.

In newborn mammals, the SVZ is the biggest depot for the precursor cells that migrate to populate various brain regions, and differentiate into multiple cell types.

«I would bet these cells are getting into the maternal brain and are able to differentiate into neurons.»

Next, the researchers differentiated the progenitor cells into networks of cortical neurons, the primary functional cell type of the brain's cortex (gray matter).

To grow larger brains, the stem cells would also have to differentiate into blood vessels to supply nutrients to the growing organoid.

Several years ago, one of the students in Verma's lab noticed that BRCA1 is very active in the neuroectoderm, a sliver of embryonic tissue containing neural stem cells that divide and differentiate into the brain's vast assortment of cell types and structures.

They found that the model's stem cells differentiate (specialize) into the various cells of the brain in the same way that they do in the first trimester of human development.

Recent research by neuroscientist Fred Gage and colleagues at the University of California (UC), San Diego, has shown that one of the most common types of jumping gene in people, called L1, is particularly abundant in human stem cells in the brain that ultimately differentiate into neurons and plays an important role in regulating neuronal development and proliferation.

For example, researchers must learn how to further differentiate the «basic» brain cells into functional neurons, such as the kind that are deficient in Parkinson's disease.

Injected into rodents, the cells don't form tumors; rather, they migrate through the animals» brains, where they differentiate into various types of neural cells including the cells that create the myelin that protects nerve fibers.

In studies of neural development in mice, Stahl found that TRNP1 produces a protein that determines whether neural stem cells self - replicate, leading to a balloonlike expansion of cortical surface area, or whether they differentiate into a plethora of intermediate stem cell types and neurons, thickening the cortex and forming more complex brain structures.

He said he used techniques to differentiate pluripotent stem cells into cells that are designed to become neural tissue, components of the central nervous system or other brain regions.

If they were permanent, ES cells would never be able to differentiate into heart, kidney, brain, bone, skin and the other specialize cells crucial to normal human functioning.

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.

Following this, they demonstrated that neural progenitors from embryonic stem cells could differentiate themselves into neurons in rat brains presenting lesions similar to those observed in humans.

Since the pioneering research of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel in the late 1950s, it has become apparent that the brain is hardwired to detect significant patterns at every stage of visual processing, beginning with the retina, where the cells are organized into groups that differentiate between vertical lines and horizontal ones, and between movement and stasis.

Cues can cause them to differentiate into one or another type of cell, which can jump start healing of brain injuries.
