Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

For the first eight weeks, the developing baby is called an embryo. It looks like a tadpole. At about three weeks, the neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, is forming. At about ...

Furthermore, many pNSCs that migrate out of the neural tube can differentiate into mature neurons and, to a limited extent, glial cells during embryonic and postnatal development. The discovery of ...

Furthermore, many peripheral neural stem cells that migrate out of the neural tube can differentiate into mature neurons and, ...

We address this fundamental question in the context of axial extension, which elongates embryos along the head-to-tail axis and ensures closure of the developing neural tube. Using zebrafish embryos ...

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries ...

Embryonic neural stem cells multiply rapidly to increase the number of nerve cells, but that ability to multiply weakens with age. That, in turn, results in reduced cognitive function. The team ...
