    Labeling Stem Cells In Vitro for Identification of Their Differentiated Phenotypes After Grafting into the CNS

    Stem cells have unlimited therapeutic potential for restoring CNS function lost secondary to trauma or degenerative disease. To date, stem cell grafts have only in a few instances partially ameliorated functio...

    Labeling Stem Cells In Vitro for Identification of their Differentiated Phenotypes after Grafting into the CNS

    Grafting neural stem cells is a widely used experimental approach to central nervous system (CNS) repair after trauma or neurodegeneration. It is likely to be a realistic clinical therapy for human CNS disorde...

    The Role of Opioid Receptors in Migration and Wound Recovery In Vitro in Cultured Human Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts

    We have previously described significant changes in skin differentiation and the delay in wound healing from delta-opioid receptor knockout mice. In addition, we have shown that opioid receptor ligands and the...
