In vivo growth factor expansion of endogenous subependymal neural precursor cell populations in the adult mouse brain
15 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
The lateral ventricle subependyma in the adult mammalian forebrain contains both neural stem and progenitor cells. This study describes the in situ modulation of these subependymal neural precursor populations after intraventricular administration of exogenous growth factors. In vivo infusion of epidermal growth factor (EGF) into adult mouse forebrain for 6 consecutive days resulted in a dramatic increase in the...
