Effect of growth hormone and igf-1 on Neural stem cells.

摘要

A method to increase the amount of neuron stem cells comprising the use of growth hormone and / or igf-1. The Method can be practiced in vivo in order to obtain more neural stem cells in situ, which allows to produce more neurons or glial cells to compensate for the loss or dysfunction of neuronal cells.The Method can also be performed in vitro to produce a large amount of neural stem cells in Culture. The cultured stem cells can be used, for example, for the treatment of patients with Transplants or animals suffering from Neurodegenerative Diseases or conditions.
