The Nuclear Receptor TLX Is Required for Gliomagenesis within the Adult Neurogenic Niche
2 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Neural stem cells (NSCs) continually generate functional neurons in the adult brain. Due to their ability to proliferate, deregulated NSCs or their progenitors have been proposed as the cells of origin for a number of primary central nervous system neoplasms, including infiltrating gliomas. The orphan nuclear receptor TLX is required for proliferation of adult NSCs, and its upregulation promotes brain tumor...
