Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

The discovery of peripheral neural stem cells outside the central nervous system suggests a previously unrecognised level of cellular plasticity within the nervous system. In contrast to neural ...

Another key regulator is SOX10, which is required for the gereration of Schwann cell precursors from the neural crest. Understanding the signals that regulate the appearance of glial ...

In contrast to neural crest-derived stem cells, which have a limited self-renewal capacity, pNSCs closely resemble brain-derived NSCs and show the ability to sustain neurogenesis over an extended ...

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries.

A molecular mechanism where impaired tRNA splicing disrupts cranial neural crest cells, revealing MYCN, DDX1, and tRNA ...
