In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

Future Neurology. 2012;7(3):279-285. In the postischemic brain, newborn neurons can be supplied from the SVZ, the SGZ and the neocortical layer, but the number is very small and it is now unclear ...

Researchers at the University of Freiburg have studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism ...

This image shows a postnatal neural stem cell (NSC) in the ventricular-subventricular zone. The majority of postnatal NSCs are maintained in a quiescent state, allowing for long-term maintenance.

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are important for the development and regeneration of the nervous system. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how ...

Researchers studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism that results in fewer newborn ...
