First known molecular signalling control for neurogenesis identified.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have succeeded in explaining how stem cells in the brain change to allow one type of stem cell to produce different cell types at different stages. In an opensource study being published in the journal Neuron, researchers show that the signal molecule TGF-beta acts as a time signal that regulates the nerve stem cells’ potential at different stages of the brain’s … Continue reading First known molecular signalling control for neurogenesis identified.
