What markers can be used to distinguish neural progenitor cell from a neural stem cell?

04 April 2018 1 6K Report

How can we asses if the population of cells in culture are neural stem cells or neural progenitor cells? Will progenitor cells also undergo neurosphere formation assay? Is there a way to identify a progenitor cell from a neural stem cell in culture?
