Research Topic: Neuronal precursor cell derived treatment for diminished neurogenesis and neurodegenerative disease
Professor Theo Palmer, Stanford University
Palmer Lab Summary: Neural precursor cells (NPC) possess the ability differentiate into mature neurons. Transplantation of NPCs may help to alleviate conditions of diminished neurogenesis and neurodegenerative
disease by providing a source of new neurons. My work is focused on understanding how the immune system reacts to transplanted NPCs in a murine model.
