CNS development: The obscure origins of adult stem cells

Curr Biol. 1999 Jun 3;9(11):R397-9. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(99)80252-8.

Abstract

Stem cells of the adult central nervous system are the focus of a great deal of attention because of their potential for making new neural cells. A recent study has claimed to identify their in vivo location, but this important issue remains controversial.
