Characterization of Adult Neural Stem Cells and Their Relation to Brain Tumors
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The adult mammalian brain contains neural stem cells that are capable of generating new neurons and glia over the course of a lifetime. Neural stem cells reside in 2 germinal niches, the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the dentate gyrus subgranular zone. These primary progenitors have been identified in their niche in vivo; these cells have characteristics of astrocytes. Recent studies have shown that adult SVZ...
