复旦大学上海医学院专家张素春教授与美国威斯康星大学经长达5年多的合作研究,首次成功地利用人类多能干细胞,分化生成了星形胶质细胞,该成果对脑组织的再生、修复和脑部疾病治疗有重要应用价值。人类多能干细胞可以分化成体内任意细胞,进而可以形成身体的各种组织和器官,这一研究,是当前干细胞研究的热点和焦点。而星形胶质细胞是胶质细胞中数量最多、具有重要功能的细胞,如血脑屏障等受到损伤,星形胶质细胞可以起到修复和再生 Professor Zhang Suchun, an expert at Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, and the University of Wisconsin, USA, have spent more than five years cooperating with each other and succeeded in using human pluripotent stem cells for the first time to differentiate and produce astrocytes. The results of this study have shown that brain tissue regeneration, Brain disease treatment has important application value. Human pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell in the body, and then can form various tissues and organs of the body. This research is the focus and focus of current stem cell research. Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in glial cells, with important functions of the cells, such as the blood-brain barrier damage, astrocytes can play a repair and regeneration
