Multipotent neural stem cell (MNSC) progeny are induced to generate cells of the hematopoietic system by placing the MNSC progeny in a hematopoietic-inducing environment. The hematopoietic-inducing environment can be either ex vivo or in vivo. A mammal's circulatory system provides an in vivo environment...http://www.google.com/patents/US7204979?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7204979 - Generation of hematopoietic cells from multipotent neural stem cells
