Abstract
Subject of the invention is a method for generating neural stem cells in vitro, wherein dental progenitor cells are isolated from soft tissue of tooth or wisdom tooth and cultivated until they form primary spheres which are then dissociated into single cells. These single cells are cultivated until they form spheroids and the spheroid-forming cells are separated to obtain neural stem cells.
