Age is the main cause of neurodegenerative changes in the central nervous system (CNS), and the loss of neurons would increase with the migration of the disease. The current treatment is also mainly used to relieve symptoms, while the function of CNS is very difficult to recover. The emergence of endogenous stem cells has brought new hope for the treatment of CNS diseases. However, this nerve regeneration is only in some specific areas, and the recovery of neural function remains unknown. More and more experts in the field of neuroscience have carried out various in vivo or in vitro experiments, in order to increase nerve regeneration and nerve function recovery through mechanism research, in the expectation that the results would be applied to the treatment of CNS diseases. This article reviews the recent progress of endogenous neural stem cells in degenerative diseases of CNS.
