We demonstrated the presence of neural stem cells and/or progenitor cells in the adult human spinal cord. This chapter provides materials and methods to harvest high-quality samples of thoracolumbar, lumbar, and sacral adult human spinal cord and human dorsal root ganglia isolated from brain-dead patients who had agreed before passing 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
D002469 Cell Separation Techniques for separating distinct populations of cells. Cell Isolation,Cell Segregation,Isolation, Cell,Cell Isolations,Cell Segregations,Cell Separations,Isolations, Cell,Segregation, Cell,Segregations, Cell,Separation, Cell,Separations, Cell
D005727 Ganglia, Spinal Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
