| Research Abstract |
In an attempt to design biomaterials capable of controlling functions of neural progenitor cells, various protein factors, such as growth factors, neurotrophic factors, integrin ligands, etc., were tested alone or in combination of these factors for their ability to control proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells obtained from the rat fetal brain. These experiments provided systematic information on the effects of various protein factors. Attempts were also made to design modular factors that carried a fused peptide having an affinity for base materials as cell carriers. It was demonstrated that survival and differentiation of neural progenitors could be suitably controlled in cell carries incorporating modular factors.
