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.

Notch promotes neural lineage entry by pluripotent embryonic stem cells [PDF]
A central challenge in embryonic stem (ES) cell biology is to understand how to impose direction on primary lineage commitment. In basal culture conditions, the majority of ES cells convert asynchronously into neural cells.

This article is concerned with the idea that neural precursor cells in vertebrates can self-renew and give rise to all cell types within the nervous system. Supportive evidence for this notion of neural stem cells comes from clonal analyses undertaken both in vivo and in vitro. Neural stem cells also give rise to other cells in the body, including skin

Embryonic cortical neural stem cells migrate ventrally and persist as postnatal striatal stem cells [PDF]
Embryonic cortical neural stem cells apparently have a transient existence, as they do not persist in the adult cortex. We sought to determine the fate of embryonic cortical stem cells by following Emx1(IREScre); LacZ/EGFP double-transgenic murine cells ...

Cortex- and striatum-derived neural stem cells produce distinct progeny in the olfactory bulb and striatum [PDF]
Neural stem cells can be isolated from the mouse embryonic cortex but do not persist in the adult cortex. In contrast, neural stem cells from the striatal embryonic germinal zone persist in the adult subependyma.

Drosophila Neural Stem Cells in Brain Development and Tumor Formation [PDF]
Neuroblasts, the neural stem cells in Drosophila, generate the complex neural structure of the central nervous system. Significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms regulating the self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation in ...

A progressive and cell non-autonomous increase in striatal neural stem cells in the Huntington's disease R6/2 mouse [PDF]
Neural stem and progenitor cells are located in the subependyma of the adult forebrain. An increase in adult subependymal cell proliferation is reported after various kinds of brain injury.
