Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. However, what these 'reactive glial cells' in the brains of mice and men originate from, and which cells they evolve into was hitherto unknown.

When human umbilical cord blood cells were injected into aged laboratory animals, researchers found improvements in the microenvironment of the hippocampus region of the animals' brains and a subsequent rejuvenation of neural stem/progenitor cells.

 | The nerve cells in the brain of Drosophila are generated by neural stem cell-like progenitor cells called neuroblasts. In the currently accepted model of neurogenesis, these neuroblast divide asymmetrically both to self renew and to produce a smaller progenitor cell. This smaller cell then divides only once into two daughter cells, which receive cell fate determinants, causing them to exit the cell cycle and differentiate into postmitotic neural cells. ...> Full Article |
NYU Medical Center has received a grant of $1 Million from the Empire State Stem Cell Board, which-established in 2007 by Governor Eliot Spitzer-announced its first awards today. The award will be used to supplement funding for work already underway in NYU School of Medicine's Helen and Martin Kimmel Center of Stem Cell Biology, as well as to acquire state-of-the art equipment and to create training programs to attract more researchers to the stem cell field.

A team of scientists have identified and validated the first biomarker that permits neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs) to be tracked, non-invasively, in the brains of living human subjects. This important advance could lead to significantly better diagnosis and monitoring of brain tumors and a range of serious neurological and psychiatric disorders.
