1. Physiological role of amyloid precursor protein during neural development
Abstract : Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a type-one membrane-spanning protein with a large extracellular N-terminal domain and a small intracellular C-terminal domain. APP first gained interest due to its involvement in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). READ MORE

2. Human neural precursor cells in spinal cord repair
Abstract : Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in substantial neural cell death, axonal degeneration and demyelination, accompanied by loss of sensory and motor functions. Cell therapy may have neuroprotective effects, substitute for lost neural cells, promote regeneration and enhance remyelination in the lesioned spinal cord. READ MORE

3. Assessment of precursor cell proliferation in normal and injured adult mammalian brains
Abstract : In the adult mammalian brain, new neurons are generated from neural stem cells (NSCs) which reside in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle wall and in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) in the hippocampus. The biology of persistent NSCs in the adult brain is poorly understood. READ MORE

4. Interactions between mouse CNS cells : microglia and neural precursor cells
Abstract : The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) contains a variety of cells, all specialized to perform different functions. Most numerous are the three types of glia cells, whose basic role is to support the signaling units of the CNS, the neurons. READ MORE

5. Early Rostrocaudal Patterning of the CNS
Abstract : The transformation of an initially uniform population of epiblast cells into an intricately complex central nervous system (CNS) is one of the most fascinating processes during embryonic development. Presumptive neural cells are initially specified as cells of forebrain character. READ MORE
