...Chika Akiba; Aya Takezawa; Yuanchang Tsai; Mire Hirose; Takumi Suzuki ABSTRACT The number of neural stem cells reflects the total number of neurons in the mature brain. As neural stem cells arise from neuroepithelial cells, the neuroepithelial cell population must be expanded to secure a sufficient...

... pathways, including the endo-lysosomal and autophagic pathways. Recent reports have suggested that lysosomes are essential for regulating neural stem cells in developing, adult and aged brains. However, the activity of these lysosomes has yet to be monitored in these brain tissues. Here, we report...

...Christian Sigloch; Dominik Spitz; Wolfgang Driever ABSTRACT Neural proliferation zones mediate brain growth and employ Delta/Notch signaling and HES/Her transcription factors to balance neural stem cell (NSC) maintenance with the generation of progenitors and neurons. We investigated Notch...

... neural stem cells (NSCs) with unique properties and growth requirements. Adult NSCs constitute a reversibly quiescent cell population that can be activated by extracellular signals from the microenvironment in which they reside in vivo . Although genomic imprinting plays a role in adult neurogenesis...
