Schwann-spheres derived from injured peripheral nerves in adult mice--their in vitro characterization and therapeutic potential.

Schwann-spheres derived from injured peripheral nerves in adult mice--their in vitro characterization and therapeutic potential.

Multipotent somatic stem cells have been identified in various adult tissues. However, the stem/progenitor cells of the peripheral nerves have been isolated only from fetal tissues. Here, we isolated Schwann-cell precursors/immature Schwann cells from the injured peripheral nerves of adult mice usin...
