The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the differentiation of cardiomyocytes in embryoid bodies derived from pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells were investigated. A single direct current (DC) field pulse was applied to 4-day-old embryoid bodies. The electrical field induced a hyperpolari

## Abstract Human fetal neural stem cells (hNSCs) can be expanded in vitro by mitogens or growth factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and/or leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Their effects on proliferation rate and differentiation pattern of hNSCs,
In this study, the behavior of neural stem cells from the newborn rat spinal cord was compared at neurosphere level after the addition of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) once or daily, blank chitosan carriers, or NT-3chitosan carriers respectively. We found that NT-3 enhanced the viability and differentiation
