From: Ethanol induces cell-cycle activity and reduces stem cell diversity to alter both regenerative capacity and differentiation potential of cerebral cortical neuroepithelial precursors

Figure 5

Quantitative analysis of the effect of ethanol-pretreatment on the regenerative capacity of neural progenitor cells. Neurosphere cultures were treated with varying doses of ethanol for five days, then dissociated and cultured as individual progenitor cells, in ethanol-free mitogenic medium. Ethanol pre-treatment leads to a dose-related decline in the subsequent ability of neural progenitors to undergo cell division (mean number of dividing cells per well ± SEM) and generate clonal colonies of cells. Asterisks indicate statistical-significance, p < 0.05.
