## Abstract During the past decade, stem cell transplant has emerged as a novel therapeutic alternative for several diseases. If therapies are to be implemented in clinical settings, efficient scaleβup of stem cells isolation methodologies would be crucial. A brief, processβoriented overview of the

Together with his close collaborators Ulf Stenevi, Olle Lindvall, Fred Gage (now at the Salk institute in La Jolla, USA)
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are the self-renewing, multipotent cells that generate neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes in the nervous system (Fig. 1a). Over the past decades, the confirmation that neurogenesis occurs in discrete areas of the adult brain and that NSCs reside in the adult brain has
## Abstract Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) can result in severe functional impairment. The brain and spinal cord, which constitute the CNS, have been viewed for decades as having a very limited capacity for regeneration. However, over the last several years, the body of evidence support
