Researchers apply brainpower to understanding neural stem cell differentiation

Thursday, October 24, 2013 - 15:00 in Biology & Nature

How do humans and other mammals get so brainy? Researchers explain how neural stem and progenitor cells differentiate into neurons and related cells called glia. Neural stem and progenitor cells offer tremendous promise as a future treatment for neurodegenerative disorders, and understanding their differentiation is the first step towards harnessing this therapeutic potential.
