## Abstract Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) proliferate as aggregates in vitro, but the mechanism of aggregation is not fully understood. Here, we report that aggregation promotes the proliferation of NSPCs. We found that the proliferation rate was linear and depended on the size of the aggreg

## 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,
## Abstract We have studied the effect of recombinant human Stem Cell Factor (SCF) on the growth of human peripheral blood, bone marrow, and cord blood progenitor cells in semisolid medium. While SCF alone had little colonyβstimulating activity under fetal bovine serum (FBS)βdeprived culture condit
## Abstract An injectable hydrogel composite consisting of oligo(poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate) (OPF) and gelatin microparticles has been developed as a novel carrier system for cells and growth factors. Rabbit marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and gelatin microparticles (MPs) loaded with insuli
