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. Neurosphere - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosphere

   A neurosphere is a culture system composed of free-floating clusters of neural stem cells. Neurospheres provide a method to investigate neural precursor cells in vitro. Putative neural stem cells are suspended in a medium lacking adherent substrates but containing necessary growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth ...

4. 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.

5. 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]

6. 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]

7. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

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

   Neurogenesis is the process by which neurons are generated from neural stem cells and progenitor cells. Neurons are 'post-mitotic', meaning that they will never divide again for the lifetime of the organism. [12] Epigenetic modifications play a key role in regulating gene expression in differentiating neural stem cells and are critical for cell ...
