Caspases are cysteine proteases that mediate apoptosis, which is a form of regulated cell
death that effectively and efficiently removes extra and unnecessary cells during …

The presence of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the production of new neurons in the adult
brain have received great attention from scientists and the public because of implications to …

Neural stem/precursor cells in the adult brain reside in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the
lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus …

Neurogenesis does not stop abruptly at birth, but persists in specific brain regions
throughout life. The neural stem cells (NSCs) located in the largest germinal region of the …

In the adult brain, multipotent progenitor cells have been identified in three areas: the
ventricular-subventricular zone (VZ-SVZ), adjacent to the striatal wall of the lateral ventricles …

Mitochondrial functions are essential for the survival and function of neurons. Recently, it
has been demonstrated that mitochondrial functions are highly associated with …

Several recent research findings indicate that schizophrenia (SCZ) may begin with an
abnormal neuro-genesis from embryonic Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) and that this process …

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons, can be observed in the adult brain of many
mammalian species, including humans. Despite significant progress in our understanding of …

Pediatric traumatic brain injury is a significant problem that affects many children each year.
Progress is being made in developing neuroprotective strategies to combat these injuries …

The fact that continuous proliferation of stem cells and progenitors, as well as the production
of new neurons, occurs in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) raises several …
