HighQC™ Rat Superior Mesenteric Plexus Neuronal Stem Cell

Description

HighQC™ Rat Superior Mesenteric Plexus Neuronal Stem Cells are isolated from the superior mesenteric plexus tissue of healthy adult rats. They constitute a source of enteric neural stem/progenitor cells (ENSCs), which are intrinsic components of the enteric nervous system (ENS). The ENS is a complex network of intrinsic neurons and glia that control gastrointestinal motility and homeostasis. These cells exhibit adherent growth in vitro and form neurosphere‑like clusters under defined stem cell culture conditions, reflecting their self‑renewal and proliferative capacity. They express characteristic neural stem and progenitor markers such as SOX2, Nestin, and p75^NTR, and under appropriate differentiation protocols can give rise to both neuronal and glial lineage. These cells provide a relevant model for ENS development and disease research. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from mycoplasma, fungi, yeast, and bacteria.
