Neural stem cells

Abstract

The revelation of neural stem cells was established in exemplary investigation of haematopoiesis and of invertebrate neural events, which enlivened assessment of single neural progenitor cells (they are all types of undeveloped, proliferating cells). Neural stem cells are part of progenitor cells in nervous system which can renew it self and have potential to generate glia and neurons. The early examination drove to the disconnection of stem-like ells from the early stage of mammalian Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). From that point forward, stem cells have been segregated from numerous parts of the early embryonic nervous system. There are two types of stem cells embryonic stem cells which play role in embryonic development and present in inner cell mass and then, adult stem cells which are present in bone marrow. Advantage of adult stem cell is that it helps in treatment of leukaemia and other disorders. Through axis formation neural cells receives positional information. Stem cells can also be used in Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson Disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. This review provides an overview of the types and developmental aspects of neural stem cells. Furthermore, aging and development, future studies are discussed.
