Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The limited capability to regenerate new neurons following injuries of the central neural system still remains a major challenge for basic and clinical neuroscience. Neural stem cells (NSCs) could nearly have the potential to differentiate into all kinds of neural cells in vitro. Wang et al discuss the new technique was developed where a small 'hole' was created in the inferior colliculus of rhesus monkeys to lock the transplanted NSCs in situ and investigate their integration into the host auditory neural network.
