Description
Human Neural Stem Cells (HNSC) are self-renewing and are produced during the lifetime of an adult through neurogenesis. These pluripotent adult stem cells produce the main phenotype of the nervous system, differentiated into neurons, astrocytes and less Dendritic cells.
HNSC plays an important role in development, learning, and hippocampal plasticity. They are also used to study age-related decline in proliferation, as well as neurological diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. These cells respond to damage and can differentiate to replace lost or injured neurons. They migrate to brain tumors in a targeted manner and help replace dying neurons in injured adult brain tissue.
Creative Biolabs HNSC is a primary cell derived from the human cortex (a single donor). They were kept frozen in the first generation. After culturing in human neural differentiation medium for 10 days, our HNSC stain is positive for β-tubulin III, GFAP, and the oligodendrocyte marker O4. Each batch was tested for its ability to form neurospheres in the growth medium of human neural stem cells.
