Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to play an important role in brain development, including stem and precursor cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and migration. To further examine the temporal and spatial requirements of erbB signals in uncommitted neural stem cells (NSCs), we expressed the ligand-independent EGF receptor, EGFRvIII, in C17.2 NSCs. These NSCs are known to...
