| The goal of our research is study the potential of neural stem cells for repair after injury to the central nervous system. Certain regions of the adult brain contain neural stem cells that have the capability to form all types of neural cells: neurons (nerve cells), astrocytes (supporting cells) and oligodendrocytes (myelin forming cells). In this micrograph, there the spherical cluster of neural stem cells was stained to identify proteins typically found in astrocytes (red), and in neurons (yellow-green). The nuclei of the cells have been stained blue. |
