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.

Therapeutic Plasticity of Neural Stem Cells [PDF]
Neural stem cells (NSCs) have garnered significant scientific and commercial interest in the last 15 years. Given their plasticity, defined as the ability to develop into different phenotypes inside and outside of the nervous system, with a capacity of ...

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

Roles of neural stem cells in the repair of peripheral nerve injury
Currently, researchers are using neural stem cell transplantation to promote regeneration after peripheral nerve injury, as neural stem cells play an important role in peripheral nerve injury repair.

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 ...

Postnatal and adult neurogenesis takes place in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in the vast majority of mammals due to the persistence of a population of neural stem cells (NSCs) that also generate astrocytes and more NSCs.

The Neurovascular Unit (NVU), composed of glia (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia), neurons, pericytes and endothelial cells, is a dynamic interface ensuring the physiological functioning of the central nervous system (CNS), which gets affected and

[INLINE:1] Brain lesions can cause neural stem cells to activate, proliferate, differentiate, and migrate to the injured area. However, after traumatic brain injury, brain tissue defects and microenvironment changes greatly affect the survival and growth

Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) can protect neurons in animal stroke models; however, their low rates of survival and neuronal differentiation limit their clinical application.

Neural Stem Cells and Stroke [PDF]
Acute ischemic stroke causes a disturbance of neuronal circuitry and disruption of the blood–brain barrier that can lead to functional disabilities. At present, thrombolytic therapy inducing recanalization of the occluded vessels in the cerebral infarcted area is a commonly used therapeutic strategy.
