Migration, Integration, Survival, and Differentiation of Stem Cell-Derived Neural Progenitors in the Retina in a Pharmacological Model of Retinal Degeneration

Figure 1

Neural progenitor cells. Formation of neurospheres containing embryonic neural progenitor cells obtaining at E14 that have aggregated in suspension after 10 days in culture. Neurospheres present as non-adherent spherical clusters of cells, they are formed by about 95% neural progenitor cells and 5% stem cells. Many factors contribute to the cellular composition of the neurosphere, key variables including the age of the animal, plating density, culturing techniques, and passage number. 100x.
