Neuronal progenitors—learning from the hippocampus

Nature Medicine volume 6, pages 249–250 (2000)Cite this article

Neuronal progenitor cells, isolated from the adult human dentate gyrus, are capable of proliferating and differentiating in vitro. Further studies into this approach may lead to neuronal transplantation therapies for human neurodegenerative disorders (271–277).
