Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can form any cell in the body. This also means that they have the potential to form tumors. Human neural stem cells (hNSCs) are a specialized subset of stem cells which can only form cells of the nervous system (neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes), and are thus safer for use as a…
