  • Differentiated neural stem cells
  • Neurons derived from neural stem cells
  • Mouse neural stem cells growing in culture. Neural stem cells can be made to develop into cells found in the central nervous system; neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Neural stem cells in culture
  • Astrocytes derived from human neural stem cells. Astrocytes are crucial for correct brain function.
  • Transplanted neural stem cells giving rise to neurons
  • Neural stem cells transplanted into a mouse brain
  • Neurons derived from neural stem cells
  • Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from neural stem cells
  • Human neural stem cells growing in culture. Neural stem cells can be made to develop into cells found in the central nervous system; neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Neural stem cells transplanted into mouse brain
  • Rat neural stem cells in culture
  • Neurons derived from human neural stem cells.
  • Human neural stem cells stained for nestin (red). Nestin is a type of intermediate filamant protein that is used as a marker of neural stem cells. The blue dots are the cell nuclei stained with DAPI. Neural stem cells can be made to develop into cells found in the central nervous system; neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from neural stem cells
  • Mouse neural stem cells growing in culture. Neural stem cells can be made to develop into cells found in the central nervous system; neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Neural stem cells transplanted into a mouse brain
  • Neurons derived from neural stem cells
  • Human neural stem cells stained for Sox2 (green) and vimentin (red). Both are markers of neural stem cells.
  • Mouse neural stem cells in culture
  • Neurons derived from human neural stem cells. The green staining highlights the typical appearance of differentiated nerve cells. Cells such as these could form the basis of future treatments for degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
