UBC-led team claims discovery could lead to new regenerative therapies for spinal repair. Researchers have identified radial glial (RG) progenitor cells in the spinal cords of adult mice. In the ...

The radial glial progenitor cells are multipurpose cells involved in many areas of brain developments and are precursor cells for generating oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and neurons.

Here we present live imaging analysis of radial glial cells and their progeny in the ventral telencephalon, the region with the largest subventricular zone in the murine brain during neurogenesis.

A molecular barcoding tool has been developed to trace the developmental descendants of radial glial cells — the neural progenitors of the human cerebral cortex. The technique shows that these ...

The radial glial cells, which are marked by long projections that can forge through brain tissue, had never previously been found in an adult spinal cord. Skip to main content.

This article offers a summary of radial glia cell markers that are in widespread use. ... The glial nature of embryonic and adult neural stem cells. Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 32, 149–84 (2009).

Moreover, astroglia are closely related to radial glial cells, which during embryonic forebrain development function as precursors for most neurons. In fact, ...

Basal radial glial cells generate the majority of the neurons in the developing neocortex, a part of the brain that is crucial for many cognitive abilities. As TKTL1 activity is particularly high in ...

CHAPEL HILL – UNC School of Medicine scientists unveiled how a particular gene helps organize the scaffolding of brain cells called radial progenitors necessary for the orderly formation of the ...

Neural stem cells affect the timing and trajectory of division in brain development more than previously thought, RIKEN researchers have found. This discovery could have important implications for our ...
