Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have used single-cell transcriptomics to discover new insights into how neural stem cells (NSCs) change with aging.
- Neural stem cells (NSCs) differentiate into cells that can become neurons and astrocytes.
- Analyzing multiple transcriptomics studies helped the researchers discern between different types of NSCs.
- This same technique was also used to study how cells age.
