title: Electron probe microanalysis of potassium and sodium in clonogenic culture of human neural stem cells.
abstract: The mean potassium and sodium concentrations and distribution of potassium in clonogenic culture of human neural stem cells (neurosphere) were estimated by means of electron probe microanalysis. High sodium concentration was typical of undifferentiated cells. Potassium was irregularly distributed in the test structure. Our results confirm published data on heterogeneous morphological structure of neurospheres.
