Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The LAR family Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase sigma (PTPsigma) has been implicated in neuroendocrine and neuronal development, and shows strong expression in specific regions within the CNS, including the subventricular zone (SVZ). We established neural stem cell cultures, grown as neurospheres, from the SVZ of PTPsigma knockout mice and sibling controls to determine if PTPsigma influences the...
