Today, Segel melds together his training in the biology of aging, in genome engineering, and in developing new gene-delivery ...

Deletion of the ‘glial cells missing-2’ gene in mice disrupts development of the parathyroid glands but does not eliminate production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is required for ...

“This work is very exciting and surprising because it demonstrates that there may be something special about human glial progenitor cells that contribute to the amazing complexity and computational ...

producing a self-renewing radial glial cell that remains in the VZ and a cell that differentiates into a neuron or an intermediate progenitor. How these differing fates are determined was unknown ...

“Theoretically, if you reprogram only one astrocyte [into a progenitor], you can generate multiple neurons or astrocytes or oligodendrocytes through this expansion process,” Zhang said. The right ...

Advances in tissue engineering offer hope for spinal cord injury repair, utilizing biomaterials, stem cells, and bioactive ...

and neural progenitor cells (NPCs), influencing brain repair and disease progression. The SVZ is a dynamic reservoir of ...
