Neural Progenitor Cells Derived from Human Embryonic Stem Cells as an Origin of Dopaminergic Neurons

Figure 4

Proliferation capacity of neural progenitor cells derived from human embryonic stem cells. bFGF can promote proliferation of neural progenitor cells. (a) BrdU assay showed the increased proliferation of neural progenitor cells upon the addition of bFGF. (b) The number of BrdU-positive cells was significantly higher than in the control cells. (c) MTT assay confirmed the effect of bFGF on neural progenitor cell proliferation. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. (). represents by Student’s -test.
