A Reliable and Reproducible Model for Assessing the Effect of Different Concentrations of -Solanine on Rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Αlpha-solanine (-solanine) is a glycoalkaloid present in potato . It has been of particular interest because of its toxicity and potential teratogenic effects that include abnormalities of the central nervous system, such as exencephaly, encephalocele, and anophthalmia. Various types of cell culture have been used as experimental models to determine the effect of -solanine on cell physiology.
