GlossaryNeural Stem Cells (neural precursor cells)

specialized brain cells that can become various neural cell types

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are specialized cells in the brain and spinal cord that have the ability to develop into different types of neural cells, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. They play a crucial role in brain development, repair, and regeneration, and are being studied for their potential in treating neurological disorders and injuries.
