Abstract excerpt
Neurogenesis occurs in the adult brain and neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in the adult central nervous system (CNS) of mammals. Adult NSCs offer tremendous potential for cellular therapy for the treatment of neurological diseases and injuries, particularly of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The contribution of newly generated neuronal cells of the adult brain to the functioning of the nervous system remains to be...
