Abstract excerpt
Neural stem cells, which exhibit self-renewal and multipotentiality, are generated in early embryonic brains and maintained throughout the lifespan. The mechanisms of their generation and maintenance are largely unknown. Here, we show that neural stem cells are generated independent of RBP-Jkappa, a key molecule in Notch signaling, by using RBP-Jkappa(-/-) embryonic stem cells in an embryonic stem cell-derived...
