Dynamic Spatiotemporal Coordination of Neural Stem Cell Fate Decisions Occurs through Local Feedback in the Adult Vertebrate Brain

The authors combined dynamic imaging of entire neural stem cell (NSC) populations in their in vivo niche over several weeks with pharmacological manipulations, mathematical modeling, and spatial statistics and demonstrated that NSCs use spatiotemporally resolved local feedback signals to coordinate their decision to divide in adult zebrafish brains.

BASP1 Labels Neural Stem Cells in the Neurogenic Niches of Mammalian Brain

Researchers describe the expression of brain abundant, membrane-attached signal protein 1 (BASP1), in neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing and postnatal mammalian brains and human brain organoids, and demonstrated that the NSC-6 antibody may be a useful marker of these cells.
