The adult vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) consists of four major differentiated cell types: neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells. Historically, there has been a disagreement on how these differentiated cell types are generated in the CNS. Progress remains hindered by the complexity of cell structure in this system, the lack

AbstractNeural stem cells (NSCs) have the ability to self‐renew, and are capable of differentiating into neurones, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Such cells have been isolated from the developing brain and more recently from the adult central nervous system. This review aims to provide an overview of the current research in this evolving area.

In recent papers on neural stem cells, two areas of progress stand out. First, there has been a substantial growth in the published examples of 'transdifferentiation'. Second, there has been progress, albeit more modest, in studies of repair by neural stem cells following transplantation into animal models of disease.

Flexibility of Neural Stem Cells [PDF]
Embryonic cortical neural stem cells are self-renewing progenitors that can differentiate into neurons and glia. We generated neurospheres from the developing cerebral cortex using a mouse genetic model that allows for lineage selection and found that the self-renewing neural stem cells are restricted to Sox2 expressing cells.

Neural Stem Cells and Glioblastoma [PDF]
Glioblastoma multiforme represents one of the most common brain cancers with a rather heterogeneous cellular composition, as indicated by the term “multiforme“. Recent reports have described the isolation and identification of cancer neural stem cells from human adult glioblastoma multiforme, which possess the capacity to establish, sustain, and ...

The stem cells of the neural crest [PDF]
In the vertebrate embryo, the neurectodermal neural crest cells (NCC) have remarkably broad potencies, giving rise, after a migratory phase, to neurons and glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, and to skin melanocytes, being all designated here as "neural" derivatives.

Abstract‘Human neural stem cells’ jointly drafted and agreed upon by experts from the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research, is the first guideline for human neural stem cells (hNSCs) in China. This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, test regulations, instructions for use, labelling requirements, packaging requirements ...

Proliferation versus Differentiation: Redefining Retinoic Acids Role. [PDF]
Retinoic acid is commonly used in culture to differentiate stem cells into neurons and has established neural differentiation functions in vivo in developing and adult organisms. In this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Mishra et al.

Summary: Neural stem cell activity in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) decreases with aging, thought to occur by a unidirectional decline. However, by analyzing the V-SVZ transcriptome of male mice at 2, 6, 18, and 22 months, we found that ...

Transient PP2A inhibition alleviates normal tissue stem cell susceptibility to cell death during radiotherapy [PDF]
Unintended outcomes of cancer therapy include ionizing radiation (IR)-induced stem cell depletion, diminished regenerative capacity, and accelerated aging.
