Live Imaging Reveals Cerebellar Neural Stem Cell Dynamics and the Role of VNUT in Lineage Progression

Researchers used an adapted cell preparation of isolated postnatal neural stem cells (NSCs) and live imaging to demonstrate that cerebellar progenitors maintain their neurogenic nature by displaying hallmarks of NSCs.

Reciprocal Interaction between Vascular Filopodia and Neural Stem Cells Shapes Neurogenesis in the Ventral Telencephalon

Researchers showed that nascent blood vessels actively contacted dividing neural stem cells by endothelial filopodia in the ventricular zone (VZ) of the murine ventral telencephalon; this association was conserved in the human ventral VZ.

The RNA m6A Reader YTHDF2 Maintains Oncogene Expression and Is a Targetable Dependency in Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Researchers interrogated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modifications in glioma stem cells by methyl RNA-immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing and transcriptome analysis, finding transcripts marked by m6A often upregulated compared to normal neural stem cells.

ESC-sEVs Rejuvenate Aging Hippocampal NSCs by Transferring SMADs to Regulate the MYT1-Egln3-Sirt1 Axis

Researchers indicated that hippocampal-neural stem cells (NSCs) senescence caused cellular exhaustion, neurogenesis reduction and cognitive impairment during aging, which can be reversed by ESC-small extracellular vesicles (sEVs).
