Patent

United States Patent No.: US 8,030,072 B2 Date of Patent Oct. 4, 2011
METHOD OF ISOLATING OF EPIDERMAL NEURAL CREST STEM CELLS

Inventors: Maya Sieber-Blum, Brookfield, WI (US), Milos Grim, Prague (CZ)
Assignees: Newcastle University, New Castle Upon Tyne (GB); Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Prague (CZ)

Abstract
The present invention describes novel methods for isolating a substantialy pure cell population of non-embryonic epidermal neural crest stem cells from the bulge-region of mammalian hair follicles. Also disclosed is the substantially pure cell population of follicular bulge-derived neural crest stem cells for medical research anf therapeutic use.
