Scientific Background
Scientific Background
Neural stem cells (NSCs) have the ability to self-renew and to differentiate into neurons and glial cells. NSCs can be isolated from tissue, or differentiated from pluripotent cells1-3.
Research on NSCs has shed light on the molecular mechanisms fundamental for neurogenesis. Moreover, NSCs have become a sought-after cell-based treatment for neurological disorders and injuries1-3.
