Abstract excerpt
Recent findings show that the predominant multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) isolated from postnatal and adult mouse brain express glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), a protein commonly associated with astrocytes, and that primary astrocyte cultures can contain GFAP-expressing cells that act as multipotent NSCs when transferred to neurogenic conditions. The relationship of GFAP-expressing NSCs to...
