a Comparison of the average number and diameter of neurospheres in each group after 5-day culture in serum-free complete medium, suggesting a reduced proliferation of NTD-derived NSCs. Folic acid fortification significantly improved the cell proliferation. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.05, compared with normal controls. #P < 0.05, and ##P < 0.01 compared with NTD group. b Growth curves of NSCs in three groups. Comparison of the average OD value in each group from day 1 to 7 shows lower cell proliferation in NTD-derived NSCs when compared with normal control (P < 0.05). Folic acid fortification significantly improved cell proliferation (P < 0.05)
