Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They can develop into any of the cells that make up our bodies. Every single cell of the body “stems” from this type of cell at the origin of their name. Stem cells are self-renewing undifferentiated cells that produce multiple types of specialized cells of the body [1]. Stem cells are present in embryonic, fetal and adult tissues. During development, stem cells form from the tissues. In the adult, stem cells contribute to homeostasis of the tissues and regeneration after injuries. Until recently, it was believed that the adult mammalian brain was devoid of stem cells, hence unable to make new neurons and regenerate [2]. With the recent evidence and confirmation that neurogenesis occurs in the adult brain and neural stem cells(NSCs) residing in the adult central nervous system (CNS) in mammals, including in humans, the adult brain has the potential to regenerate and may be amenable to repair [3, 4].
