Neural cells

1. Neural cells Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) give rise to every type of neural cells, forming the most complex and functional organ of the body. In the mammalian embryonic central nervous system (CNS), NS/PCs are found in the basal forebrain, hippocampus, cerebral cortex, ganglionic eminence, cerebellum, neural crest, and spinal cord. When performing studies with neural progenitor cells, it is often desirable to be able to distinguish specific subsets of these cells. During neural progenitor differentiation, the cells express various proteins. Some of these proteins are specifically related to certain phenotypes and are therefore used as identifiers i.e. markers. Markers as cell surface signatures would also permit the isolation of neural stem cells (NSC), glia and post-mitotic neurons from neural differentiation cultures of pluripotent stem cells. In a word, neural cell surface marker expression has been described for the isolation and identification of many neural cell types. In the following section, we will list some of the markers most commonly used to identify neural cells. Sensory neurons are the kind of neurons which can get information and bring it into the CNS so it can be processed. That means outside stimuli activates sensory neurons and then your feeling is transformed by sensory neurons to your brain. https://www.creative-diagnostics.com/neural-cells.htm
