An inexhaustible Source of neural Cells

Researchers in Bonn demonstrate that **embryonic stem cells** may be derived from brain stem cells. Research scientists in Bonn have succeeded in **deriving** so-called brain stem cells from human **embryonic stem cells**. These can not only be conserved almost indefinitely in culture, but can also serve as an inexhaustible source of diverse types of neural cell. The scientists have also shown that these **neural cells** are capable of synaptic integration in the brain. Their results have been published in the latest edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences PNAS. "Universität Bonn":[ http://www.uni-bonn.de/en/News/124_2009.html]
