Neuronal development relies on a highly choreographed progression of dynamic cellular
processes by which newborn neurons migrate, extend axons and dendrites, innervate their …

Gliomas are the most common tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) and a frequent
cause of mental impairment and death. Treatment of malignant gliomas is often palliative …

To study how adult hippocampal neurogenesis might originate from the proliferation of stem
or progenitor cells in vivo, we have used transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent …

Neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the adult mammalian hippocampus has been proven
in a series of studies, but the differentiation process toward newborn neurons is still unclear …

Neurons and glial cells in the developing brain arise from neural progenitor cells (NPCs).
Nestin, an intermediate filament protein, is thought to be expressed exclusively by NPCs in …

According to new hypotheses astrocytomas/gliomas either arise from or attract neural stem
cells. Biological markers, particularly antigenic markers, have played a significant role for the …

A main neurogenic niche in the adult human brain is the subventricular zone (SVZ). Recent
data suggest that the progenitors that are born in the human SVZ migrate via the rostral …

A persistent cycling cell population in the normal adult human brain is well established.
Neural stem cells or neural progenitors have been identified in the subventricular zone and …

With the wide application of nanoscaled particles, the risk of human exposure to these
particles has been markedly increased. However, knowledge about their safety falls far …

Background Nestin is a protein belonging to class VI of intermediate filaments that is
produced in stem/progenitor cells in the mammalian CNS during development and is …
