Now head of her own lab at Stanford, Heilshorn engineers proteins to aid neural stem cells in healing injured brains and spines.

One of the team's most exciting new observations suggests a link between autism and a type of neural stem cell called outer - radial glia (oRGs), discovered by the Kriegstein lab in 2010.

The approach enabled a wide range of studies of human brain development, including implicating a new class of neural stem cell recently discovered by the lab in the evolutionary expansion of the human brain and identifying how the mosquito - borne Zika virus may contribute to microcephaly in infants infected in utero.

Several years ago, one of the students in Verma's lab noticed that BRCA1 is very active in the neuroectoderm, a sliver of embryonic tissue containing neural stem cells that divide and differentiate into the brain's vast assortment of cell types and structures.

They tested 120 neural stem cell lines in the lab for stability and robustness and in animals for the capacity to engraft with minimal immune rejection.

Scientists in the lab have successfully generated neural stem cells (NCS) from human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (these are stem cells that have been reprogrammed from adult cells).

In 2010, Kriegstein's lab discovered a new type of neural stem cell in the human brain, which they dubbed outer radial glia (oRGs) because these cells reside farther away from the nurturing ventricles, in an outer layer of the subventricular zone (oSVZIn 2010, Kriegstein's lab discovered a new type of neural stem cell in the human brain, which they dubbed outer radial glia (oRGs) because these cells reside farther away from the nurturing ventricles, in an outer layer of the subventricular zone (oSVZin the human brain, which they dubbed outer radial glia (oRGs) because these cells reside farther away from the nurturing ventricles, in an outer layer of the subventricular zone (oSVZin an outer layer of the subventricular zone (oSVZ).

Kirsten Obernier, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in Alvarez - Buylla's lab, spent six years trying to understand how the brain avoids running out of neural stem cells by catching the cells in the act of dividing.

There he worked in the Kaplan lab, originally with the Neural Group working to create a scaffold for a model of a three - dimensional interconnected neuronal network grown from human induced pluripotent stem cells.

Neural stem cells are found in adult or fetal brain and spinal cord or derived from embryonic stem cells, which have the capacity to become any cell type in the body, or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, tissue - specific cells that are reprogrammed in the lab to behave like embryonic stem cells.
