Sciatic nerve regeneration by transplantation of in vitro differentiated nucleus pulposus progenitor cells.

CONCLUSION: NP progenitor cells differentiated into Schwann-like cells. Transplantation of these cells promoted myelinated axon formation, morphology restoration and nerve function improvement. NP progenitor cells have the capacity to differentiate into neuronal cells and are candidates for peripheral nerve regeneration therapy. PMID: 28621199 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
