Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing, multipotent cells that can generate neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes of the nervous system. NSCs have been extensively studied because they can be used to treat impaired cells and tissues or improve regenerative power of degenrating cells in neurodegenerative diseases or spinal cord injuries. For successful clinical applications of NSCs, it is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying self-renewal and differentiation of NSCs, which involve complex interplays among key factors including transcription factors, epigenetic control, microRNAs, and signaling pathways. Despite numerous studies on such factors, a holistic view of their interplays during neural development still remains elusive. In this review, we present recently identified potential regulatory factors and their targets by genomics and proteomics technologies and then integrate them into regulatory networks that describe their complex interplays to achieve self-renewal and differentiation of NSCs.
