Abstract excerpt
The heterogeneity and molecular characteristics of progenitor cells, especially glial progenitors, in the developing human cerebral cortex remain elusive. Here, we find that EGFR expression begins to sharply increase after gestational week (GW) 20, which corresponds to the beginning stages of human gliogenesis. In addition, EGFR+ cells are mainly distributed in the germinal zone and frequently colocalize with the...
