摘要
Stem cells have the remarkable ability to become one of any number of different cell types. Take neural stem cells, for example, which can develop into neurons or different types of glial cell. Two studies indicate that these cells are not only much more widespread in the central nervous system than previously thought, but that they can somehow cross from the brain and develop into blood cells.
