Glucocorticoids are used to treat respiratory dysfunction associated with premature birth but have been shown to cause neurodevelopmental deficits when used therapeutically. Recently, we established that acute glucocorticoid exposure at clinically relevant doses produces neural progenitor cell apopt

## Background: Ex vivo gene therapy in the central nervous system (cns) holds great promise for diseases such as the neurodegenerative disorders. however, achieving stable, long-term transgene expression in grafted cells has proven problematic. this study reports the establishment of an in vitro mo
The neural crest is a multipotent precursor population which ultimately generates much of the peripheral nervous system, epidermal pigment cells, and a variety of mesectodermal derivatives. Individual multipotent neural crest cells are capable of some self-renewing divisions, and based upon this cri
Combined sialyltransferase (ST) activities were induced in the HN9 hippocampal cell line following treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (dex) for 24 hr. Induction occurred in a dosedependent manner, with the maximum induction of a 2-fold increase over control enzyme levels occur
## Abstract Embryonic stem (ES) cells are a promising donor source for transplantation therapy, but several problems must be solved before they can be clinically useful. One of these is the host immune reaction to allogeneic grafts. In this article, we examine the effect of the host immune reaction
