Extensive research has focused on transplantation of pluripotent stem cells for the treatment
of central nervous system disorders, the therapeutic potential of stem cell therapy for injured
peripheral nerves is largely unknown. We used a rat sciatic nerve transection model to test
the ability of implanted embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived neural progenitor cells (ES-NPCs)
in promoting repair of a severely injured peripheral nerve. Mouse ES cells were neurally
induced in vitro; enhanced expression and/or secretion of growth factors were detected in …
