What are Neural Stem Cells?
Neural stem cells are multipotent precursors defined by their capacity for self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into the major cell types of the central nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. R&D Systems offers products to support neural stem cell expansion as well as specialized kits to verify neural stem cell multipotency. In addition, our premium quality growth factors and expansive collection of antibodies aid in directing the reproducible differentiation of neural stem cells and analyzing the signaling mechanisms that influence neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation.
