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.
