[Research progress of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into nerve-like cells induced by traditional Chinese medicine].

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have active abilities of self-replication and multidifferentiation. In recent years, a lot of studies have proved that MSCs can be induced and differentiated into nerve-like cells under certain conditions. Because of some advaced characteristics including sampling convenience, no immune rejection, high transfection rate and stable exogenous gene expression, MSCs will provide new way in treating disease of nervous system.
