Role of Cystatin C in Amyloid Precursor Protein-induced Proliferation of Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells
14 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is well studied for its role in Alzheimer disease. However, little is known about its normal function. In this study, we examined the role of APP in neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation. NSPCs derived from APP-overexpressing Tg2576 transgenic mice proliferated more rapidly than NSPCs from the corresponding background strain (C57Bl/6xSJL) wild-type mice. In contrast,...
