Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing multipotent populations present in the developing and adult mammalian CNS. NSCs develop from the ectoderm-derived neural crest in vivo, or can be experimentally derived or induced from different sources in vitro. NSC can generate the neurons and glia in the brain. These neurons and glia express unique sets of adhesion molecules, cytoskeletal proteins, transcription factors, and surface receptors.
GeneTex is proud to offer an outstanding selection of antibody reagents for neuroscience research, featuring antibodies against unique cell type markers for detection of neurons, glia and microglia. Please see the highlighted antibodies below.
