Neural stem cells (NSCs) must exit quiescence to produce neurons; however, our understanding of this process remains constrained by the technical limitations of current technologies.

Musashi1, a neural RNA binding protein, is important in translationally repressing target transcripts during quiescence in adult hippocampal neural stem cells
Waisman researchers grow critical nerve cells
After years of trial and error, scientists have coaxed human embryonic stem cells to become spinal motor neurons, critical nervous system pathways that relay messages from the brain to the rest of the body.
