This detailed volume explores techniques for the study of neurogenic niches and neural lineage progression, specifically addressing major methodological challenges in studying neural stem cells (NSCs) and related cell populations, such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons. The chapters are organized to offer a comprehensive technical foundation, focusing on isolation and identification, monitoring, manipulation, analysis, and the exploration of potential therapeutic applications of NSCs. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Neural Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for the scientific community and a broader audience interested in understanding neurogenic niches and the progression of neural lineages.
