4 Control of Neural Stem Cell Behaviour by Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel 

NSC are a kind of adult stem cells, and they possess the ability to differentiate into the major cell types in the nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, so they can potentially regenerate after nervous system injury [4]. Injured neurons have an extremely limited capacity for self renewal, so implanted NSC can be used to substitute for these, after any damage in the CNS [3].
