Neural stem and progenitor cells have a central role in the development and evolution of the
mammalian neocortex. In this review, we first provide a set of criteria to classify the various …

The vast diversity of neurons and glia of the CNS is generated from a small, heterogeneous
population of progenitors that undergo transcriptional changes during development to …

Self-organization is a process that ensures histogenesis of the eye retina. This highly
intricate phenomenon is not sufficiently studied due to its biological complexity and genetic …

The impressive neuronal diversity found within the nervous system emerges from a limited
pool of neural progenitor cells that proceed through different gene expression programs to …

The human heart has a limited capacity to regenerate lost or damaged cardiomyocytes after
cardiac insult. Instead, myocardial injury is characterized by extensive cardiac remodeling …

Retinal inflammation underlies multiple prevalent retinal diseases. While microglia are one
of the most studied cell types regarding retinal inflammation, growing evidence shows that …

In this review, we examine the role of microRNAs in the development of the prefrontal cortex
(PFC) in adolescence and in individual differences in vulnerability to mental illness. We …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which consist of microvesicles and exosomes, are secreted
from all cells to transform vital information in the form of lipids, proteins, mRNAs and small …

The accurate generation of an appropriate number of different neuronal and glial subtypes is
fundamental to normal brain functions and requires tightly orchestrated spatial and temporal …

Brain wiring is a highly intricate process in which trillions of neuronal connections are
established. Its initial phase is particularly crucial in establishing the general framework of …
