Neural Stem Cell : A Review

Prateek Upreti

Abstract :

T The discovery of stem cells that can generate neural tissue has raised new possibilities for repairing the nervous system.Stem cells are defined as cells that have the ability to renew themselves continuously and possess pluripotent ability to differentiate into many cell types. Neural stem cells (NSCs) offer a unique and powerful tool for basic research and regenerative medicine. However, the challenges that scientists face in the comprehension of the biology and physiological function of these cells arestill many. In this review, we focus on the biological properties of NSCs and discuss how these cells may be exploited for a better medical use. We also review and discuss ongoing NSC–based research for few diseases and challenges we are are facing along with future research require in NSCs
