Mysteries of Science: Update on Neural Stem Cells

Scientific discoveries have profoundly affected our lives, and the 21st century promises even more spectacular advancements. Presented in conjunction with the New York Academy of Sciences, this series examines current science discoveries and their effects.

Neural stem cells—immature cells that can differentiate into all cell types—have fueled scientists’ imaginations as a means for treating rare brain disor-ders. New animal research suggests that they might be effective in a much broader array of diseases.
