Methylene blue promotes quiescence of rat neural progenitor cells

Methylene blue promotes quiescence of rat neural progenitor cells

Neural stem cell-based treatment holds a new therapeutic opportunity for neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we investigated the effect of methylene blue on proliferation and differentiation of rat neural progenitor cells (NPCs) both in vitro and in vivo. We found that methylene blue inhibited prolif...
