Neural stem cells (NSC) are undifferentiated precursor cells defined by their capacity for self-renewal and multipotency. Through proliferation and division, NSCs generate clonally related progeny that differentiate to form all the major cell types of the CNS. These include neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain. Extrinsic factors believed to be essential for NSC maintenance and proliferation include epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factors, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), and members of the Wnt family.
