Gene Circuitry Controlling a Stem Cell Niche
Many stem cell populations interact with stromal cells via signaling pathways, and understanding these interactions is key for understanding stem cell biology. In Drosophila, germline stem cell (GSC) maintenance requires regulation of several genes, including dpp, piwi, pumilio, and bam. GSCs also maintain continuous contact with cap cells that probably secrete the signaling ligands necessary f...
متن کاملAdult hippocampal neural stem and progenitor cells regulate the neurogenic niche by secreting VEGF.
The adult hippocampus hosts a population of neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) that proliferates throughout the mammalian life span. To date, the new neurons derived from NSPCs have been the primary measure of their functional relevance. However, recent studies show that undifferentiated cells may shape their environment through secreted growth factors. Whether endogenous adult NSPCs secr...
متن کاملThe Spinal Cord Neural Stem Cell Niche
The spinal cord is the caudal portion of the central nervous system (CNS) that extends from the lower part of the brain stem (the medulla) to the cauda equina. It receives several types of sensory information from the joints, muscles, organs and skin and contains the motoneurons responsible for voluntary/reflex movements and for the function of the autonomic nervous system. The spinal cord is d...
متن کاملThe Molecular Profiles of Neural Stem Cell Niche in the Adult Subventricular Zone
Neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in a unique microenvironment called the neurogenic niche and generate functional new neurons. The neurogenic niche contains several distinct types of cells and interacts with the NSCs in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle. While several molecules produced by the niche cells have been identified to regulate adult neurogenesis, a systematic prof...
متن کاملModification of hippocampal circuitry by adult neurogenesis.
The adult hippocampus is one of the primary neural structures involved in memory formation. In addition to synapse-specific modifications thought to encode information at the subcellular level, changes in the intrahippocampal neuro-populational activity and dynamics at the circuit-level may contribute substantively to the functional capacity of this region. Within the hippocampus, the dentate g...
