title: Isolation and maintenance of cortical neural progenitor cells in vitro.
abstract: Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) or neural stem cells are important tools for investigating central nervous system (CNS) development. NPCs can be used in therapeutic strategies and for characterizing differentiation mechanisms. Here, we describe methods for isolating and culturing embryonic NPCs.
