Perspective: Of Mice and Men – How Widespread Is Adult Neurogenesis?
These are exciting times for research on adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN). Debate and controversy regarding the existence of generation of new neurons in the adult, and even diseased human brain flourishes as articles against and in favor accumulate.

Characterization of TLX expression in neural stem cells and progenitor cells in adult brains. [PDF]
TLX has been shown to play an important role in regulating the self-renewal and proliferation of neural stem cells in adult brains. However, the cellular distribution of endogenous TLX protein in adult brains remains to be elucidated.

Stem Cells in the Nervous System [PDF]
Given their capacity to regenerate cells lost through injury or disease, stem cells offer new vistas into possible treatments for degenerative diseases and their underlying causes.

The emerging roles of ribosome biogenesis in craniofacial development. [PDF]
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a transient, migratory cell population, which originates during neurulation at the neural folds and contributes to the majority of tissues, including the mesenchymal structures of the craniofacial skeleton.

HB-EGF activates EGFR to induce reactive neural stem cells in the mouse hippocampus after seizures
Blocking epidermal growth factor receptor signaling after seizures prevents the induction of reactive neural stem cells and preserves neurogenesis in the hippocampus of mice.

Neural crest stem cells undergo multilineage differentiation in developing peripheral nerves to generate endoneurial fibroblasts in addition to Schwann cells [PDF]
Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) persist in peripheral nerves throughout late gestation but their function is unknown. Current models of nerve development only consider the generation of Schwann cells from neural crest, but the presence of NCSCs raises ...

Comparative global immune-related gene profiling of somatic cells, human pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives: implication for human lymphocyte proliferation. [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced PSCs (iPSCs), represent potentially unlimited cell sources for clinical applications. Previous studies have suggested that hPSCs may benefit from immune privilege and

Neural stem cell secretome and its role in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]
Neurological diseases in the central nervous system are mostly characterized by the failure of endogenous repair to restore tissue damage and salvage lost function.
