Abstract
-
In this study, we showed that neurons could be generated from adult canine bone marrow stem cells by culturing with DMSO/BHA/FeCl2. These neurons differentiated from the bone marrow stem cells formed neurites, expressed neuron-specific markers. This differentiation was enhanced by FeCl2. These results suggest that iron can effectively initiate differentiation of adult bone marrow stem cells into neurons.
