2. Neural stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_stem_cell

   Neural stem cells differentiating to astrocytes (green) and sites of growth hormone receptor shown in red. There are two basic types of stem cell: adult stem cells, which are limited in their ability to differentiate, and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are pluripotent and have the capability of differentiating into any cell type.

3. Neurogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenesis

   Neurogenesis is the process by which nervous system cells, the neurons, are produced by neural stem cells (NSCs). [1] This occurs in all species of animals except the porifera (sponges) and placozoans. [2]

4. Adult neurogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_neurogenesis

   A detailed understanding of the factors governing adult neural stem cells in vivo may ultimately lead to elegant cell therapies for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease by mobilizing autologous endogenous neural stem cells to replace degenerated neurons. [101]

5. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

   Neuronal precursor cells proliferate in the ventricular zone of the developing neocortex, where the principal neural stem cell is the radial glial cell. The first postmitotic cells must leave the stem cell niche and migrate outward to form the preplate, which is destined to become Cajal–Retzius cells and subplate neurons. These cells do so by ...

6. PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PI3K/AKT/mTOR_pathway

   Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the brain must find a balance between maintaining their multipotency by self renewing and proliferating as opposed to differentiating and becoming quiescent. The PI3K/AKT pathway is crucial in this decision making process. NSCs are able to sense and respond to changes in the brain or throughout the organism.

7. Stem-cell niche - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_niche

   Neural stem cell niches are divided in two : the Subependymal zone (SEZ) and the Subgranular zone (SGZ). The SEZ is a thin area beneath the ependymal cell layer that contains three types of neural stem cells : infrequently dividing neural stem cells (NSCs), rapidly dividing transit amplifying precursors (TaPs) and neuroblasts (NBs).
