Transplantation of Human Neural Progenitor Cells in the Mouse Brain

(2022)This video demonstrates the stereotaxic transplantation of genetically modified human neural progenitor cells (NPCs) into the mouse brain. Researchers inject NPCs expressing luciferase and fluorescent proteins, enabling in vivo bioluminescence imaging and post-mortem fluorescence microscopy to study cell survival, migration, and integration in neurological research.
