Neural stem cells (NSCs) are a type of stem cell that can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. They are found in the central nervous system and are responsible for the production of new neurons and glial cells. NSCs are used in research to study the development of the nervous system, as well as to develop treatments for neurological diseases.
NSCs are also used in regenerative medicine, as they can be used to replace damaged or lost neurons. This has potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as spinal cord injuries.
The NSC market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for stem cell-based therapies and treatments. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more research is conducted and new treatments are developed.
Some companies in the NSC market include Cellular Dynamics International, StemCells, Inc., and Neuralstem, Inc. Show Less Read more
