Journal ArticleDOI

CNS stem cells express a new class of intermediate filament protein.

TL;DR: The predicted amino acid sequence of the nestin gene product shows that nestin defines a distinct sixth class of intermediate filament protein, extending a model in which transitions in intermediate filament gene expression reflect major steps in the pathway of neural differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Neural Stem Cell in the Adult Mammalian Central Nervous System

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that ependymal cells are neural stem cells and a novel process in the response to central nervous system injury is identified, identified in response to spinal cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signalling controls pancreatic cell differentiation

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ngn3 acts as pro-endocrine gene and that Notch signalling is critical for the decision between theendocrine and progenitor/exocrine fates in the developing pancreas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized potential of adult neural stem cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that neural stem cells from the adult mouse brain can contribute to the formation of chimeric chick and mouse embryos and give rise to cells of all germ layers, demonstrating that an adult neural stem cell has a very broad developmental capacity.
