Anti-Neural Stem Cells Antibody, clone Nilo1 clone Nilo1, from hamster(Armenian)

Similar to other cell types, neural cells are generated from primary progenitor cells known as type B astrocytes or neural stem cells (NSCs) via stages of amplification (transient amplifying cells), resulting in the generation of intermediate precursor cells (iPCs) committed to neurons (nIPCs), astrocytes (aIPCs), or oligodendrocytes (oIPCs). In adult rodent brain, NSCs and iPCs are mainly restricted to niches in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles (LV). In the adult SVZ, type B cells (SVZB) generate neuroblasts (type A cells, neuronal precursors) through a highly proliferative transit amplifying population (type C cells). NSCs and iPCs paly important roles in neurogenesis in the adult brain. Neuroblasts, for example, are known to migrate from their SVZ niche through the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to the olfactory bulb for the continuous generation of periglomerular interneurons. In addition to maintaining the homeostasis of the olfactory bulb, both neuroblasts and NSCs are shown to mobilize from their SVZ niches to various brain damage sites caused by tumor growth, cryolesion, focal demyelinization, and mechanical lesion.
