title: Neural stem cells.
abstract: In recent papers on neural stem cells, two areas of progress stand out. First, there has been a substantial growth in the published examples of 'transdifferentiation'. Second, there has been progress, albeit more modest, in studies of repair by neural stem cells following transplantation into animal models of disease.
