Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neural stem cell marker nestin-expressing hair follicle stem cells can differentiate into neurons, Schwann cells, and other cell types. In the present study, nestin-expressing cells were located in the terminal end of hair follicle sensory nerve and peripheral nerves. Nestin-expressing cells proliferated in the injured nerves, the cells expressed neural axon marker and axon guidance factor. This phenomenon was observed not only in culture but in vivo study. Nestin-expressing cells appeared to play a major role in the recovery of peripheral nerve injury.
