Abstract
The ability of donor cells to adhere and migrate ECM proteins as a primary component for tissue-engineered constructs in the injured brain was investigated. Primary FGF2-responsive neural stem cells adhered and migrated on FN and LN under serum-free conditions with respect to collagens, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, poly-L-lysine, and uncoated tissue culture polystyrene. FN and LN immunoreactivity was increased in injured brains, adjacent to the brain cavity on day 1 after injury. The results showed significant increases in survival and migration distance in the transplant. It was suggested that tissue engineering utilizing neural stem cells cultured on an ECM-based scaffold can provide a novel strategy for influencing transplants.
