Maintenance of self-renewal and proliferation of hippocampal neural stem cells during postnatal development
In a study published in Cell Reports, Dr. Zhou Jiawei’s Lab at the Institute of Neuroscience, Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Hu Gang’s group at the Nanjing Medical University, demonstrated that FGF13 gene acts as an intrinsic regulator in the maintenance of the self-renewal and proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampus during the postnatal development.
