Neural Progenitor Cell Terminology [PDF]
Since descriptions of neural precursor cells (NPCs) were published in the late 19th century, neuroanatomists have used a variety of terms to describe these cells, each term reflecting contemporary understanding of cellular characteristics and function ...

Neural Progenitor Nuclei IN Motion [PDF]
Interkinetic nuclear migration (INM), the movement of neuroepithelial and radial glial cell nuclei along the apical-basal axis in concert with the cell cycle, underlies the pseudostratification of the ventricular zone (VZ). Recent studies provide insight

Neural Progenitor Cell Polarity and Cortical Development [PDF]
Neurons populating the cerebral cortex are generated during embryonic development from neural stem and progenitor cells in a process called neurogenesis. Neural stem and progenitor cells are classified into several classes based on the different location

Conditional activation of Bmi1 in embryonic and postnatal neural stem/progenitor cells in mouse models: analysis of its effect on their biological properties and tumourigenesis [PDF]
PhDThe Polycomb group protein Bmi1 is a key transcriptional regulator of self renewal of embryonic and adult neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPC) and its over-expression has been shown to occur in several types of brain tumour.

Neural Progenitor Cells and the Hypothalamus
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) capable of self-renewing and differentiating into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the postnatal/adult brain, NPCs are primarily located in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles (LVs) and subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG ...

Defining properties of neural crest-derived progenitor cells from the apex of human developing tooth [PDF]
The connective tissue of the human tooth arises from cells that are derived from the cranial neural crest and, thus, are termed as "ectomesenchymal cells." Here, cells being located in a pad-like tissue adjacent to the apex of the developing tooth, which

A progressive and cell non-autonomous increase in striatal neural stem cells in the Huntington's disease R6/2 mouse [PDF]
Neural stem and progenitor cells are located in the subependyma of the adult forebrain. An increase in adult subependymal cell proliferation is reported after various kinds of brain injury.

Isolation of neural stem and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from the brain of live rats [PDF]
Summary Postnatal brain neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) cluster in anatomically inaccessible stem cell niches, such as the subependymal zone (SEZ). Here, we describe a method for the isolation of NSPCs from live animals, which we term “milking.”

Neural Stem Cells, Neural Progenitors, and Neurotrophic Factors [PDF]
Neural stem cells (NSCs) have been proposed as a promising cellular source for the treatment of diseases in nervous systems. NSCs can self-renew and generate major cell types of the mammalian central nervous system throughout adulthood. NSCs exist not only in the embryo, but also in the adult brain neurogenic region: the subventricular zone (SVZ) of ...
