| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neural stem cells (NSCs) maintain their stemness in a special architecture called as "stem cell niche". Particularly, stem cell niche for NSCs contains a specific ECM structure called as "fractones" and fractones contribute to NSC maintenance. However, it remains unclear how fractones maintain NSC stemness. Here, an in vitro fractones model is prepared by the culture of NSCs and decellularization techniques.
Prepared fractones model possessed cell adhesion ability and cell proliferation ability. Also, the model suppressed NSC differentiation into neural cells.
