[Nestin in the cells of the central nervous system]
Abstract
This review describes the most recent data on an intermediate filament protein nestin, which is regarded by most of the authors as a possible neural stem/progenitor cells marker. Several structure-functional characteristics of nestin, its occurrence in different cell types at various stages of ontogenesis in physiological and pathological conditions are reviewed.
