Our group recently provided evidence for the presence of neural stem cells and/or progenitor cells in the adult human spinal cord. In this chapter, we review materials and methods to harvest high-quality samples of thoracolumbar, lumbar, and sacral adult human spinal cord from brain-dead patients who had agreed to donate their bodies to science for therapeutic and scientific advances. The methods to culture precursor cells from the adult human spinal cord are also described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009927 Tissue and Organ Procurement The administrative procedures involved with acquiring TISSUES or organs for TRANSPLANTATION through various programs, systems, or organizations. These procedures include obtaining consent from TISSUE DONORS and arranging for transportation of donated tissues and organs, after TISSUE HARVESTING, to HOSPITALS for processing and transplantation.

D058953 Neural Stem Cells Self-renewing cells that generate the main phenotypes of the nervous system in both the embryo and adult. Neural stem cells are precursors to both NEURONS and NEUROGLIA. Cell, Neural Stem,Cells, Neural Stem,Neural Stem Cell,Stem Cell, Neural,Stem Cells, Neural
D061251 Primary Cell Culture The initial culturing of cells derived directly from fresh TISSUES. Cell Culture, Primary,Cell Cultures, Primary,Primary Cell Cultures
D018874 Spheroids, Cellular Spherical, heterogeneous aggregates of proliferating, quiescent, and necrotic cells in culture that retain three-dimensional architecture and tissue-specific functions. The ability to form spheroids is a characteristic trait of CULTURED TUMOR CELLS derived from solid TUMORS. Cells from normal tissues can also form spheroids. They represent an in-vitro model for studies of the biology of both normal and malignant cells.
