Neuron & Stem Cell Review Neurons = a very specific brain cell that transmits information to the rest of your body through electrical and chemical signals. Neural Stem Cells = self-renewing/changeable cells that develop into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes (the 3 major cell types of the bodies’ Central Nervous System).

Stem Cell Biology The study of the structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy of stem cells.

Stem Cell Biology + 3D Imaging Forrest Goodfellow, a graduate student at the University of Georgia’s Regenerative Bioscience Center, is using stem cell biology and 3D imaging together to help track/label neural stem cells.

How? Using tiny (microscopic) iron beads and a chicken egg, Goodfellow’s team was able to label/track neural stem cells in the egg’s embryo. The iron beads were attached to each neural stem cell as a label and the team then tracked their progress using MRI technology. The team determined that this process of labeling could be done w/out damaging the cells.

Why is this important? We have the knowledge that altering and transplanting neural stem cells directly into the body may help to restore damaged neurons and/or delay the onset of symptoms of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease but so far this process is being done blindly. There is hope that advancements in new technology will allow us to track and direct cells throughout the body.
