Poser1, Andreas Androutsellis-Theotokis1,2 1Department of Medicine, University of Dresden, 2Center for Regerative Therapies Dresden Neural stem cells harvested from the adult brain are increasing utilized in applications ranging from the basic research of nervous system development to exploring potential clinical applications in regenerative medicine. This makes rigorous control in the isolation and culturing conditions used to grow these cells critical to sound experimental outcomes.
