Neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs) differentiate into the neural cells of the central nervous system. NSPCs are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into distinct neural cell lineages. Depending on external cues, NSPCs can differentiate into neurons (neuronal lineage) or astrocytes (glial lineage). NSPCs can also differentiate in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which are more restricted stem cells that can give rise to oligodendrocytes.
