Methods to control the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells and progenitor cells and a pharmaceutical composition to induce differentiation in a cell population

摘要

"METHODS FOR CONTROLLING THE PROLIFERATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF STEM CELLS AND PROGENITOR CELLS AND A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION TO INDUCE THE DIFFERENTIATION IN A POPULATION OF CELLS", comprising a method to expand the cell population, even differentiating the cell population, even by differentiating the cell population, even by differentiating the cell population, even by differentiating the cell population. the method including the step of providing the cells with conditions for cell proliferation and, at the same time, of reducing the cells' ability to use copper. The method can be performed both in-vivo and ex-vivo. A method to induce differentiation in a cell population, the method including the step of providing the cells with a transition metallic chelator that binds copper and is effective in inducing cell differentiation.
