Neural stem cells, SEM
Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of neural stem cells from a neurosphere (courtesy of Sam Jackson). Since neural stem cells cannot be studied in vivo (within the body), neurospheres provide a Since neural stem cells cannot be studied in vivo (within the body), neurospheres provide a method to investigate neural precursor cells in vitro (outside the body). Neural stem cells that are transplanted are able to cross the blood†"brain barrier and integrate themselves into the host's brain This therapeutic application of neural stem cells derived from neurospheres is still in its infancy with respect to efficacy, but it has a high potential for the treatment of neurospheres.
