OSLO, March 22, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Bone marrow recently been found to be a richer source of stem cells and the cells derived from it to be more flexible than was previously thought. Now, further research by scientists in Norway has discovered that it is easier than previously thought to produce neural cells from bone marrow-derived stem cells.More.
The Oslo team used chick embryos to show that bone marrow stem cells do readily create neurons and spinal cord cells. The researchers introduced adult stem cells from human bone marrow into the injured spinal cord of the embryonic chick. The cells changed into new spinal cord cells using the existing chemical system of the chick's developing spinal cord.
