Substrate-Dependent Galvanotaxis of Directly Reprogrammed Human Neural Precursor Cells.

Neural precursor cells (NPCs) hold great promise for neural repair. Endogenous NPCs, found in the subventricular zone of the adult brain, proliferate and migrate toward lesion sites; however, it is not sufficient for neural repair. NPCs are electrosensitive cells that undergo directed migration in an electric field (EF).
