The potential to increase unlimitedly in number and to generate differentiated cell types is a
key feature of somatic stem cells. Within the nervous system, cellular and environmental …

It is long known that stem cell differentiation correlates with a lengthening of the cell cycle, in
particular G1. Moreover, models were proposed for mammalian embryonic, neural and …

The sense of smell is interrelated with psychosocial functioning. Olfactory disorders often
decrease quality of life but treatment options for people with olfactory loss are limited. …

During mouse embryonic development, neural progenitors lengthen the G1 phase of the
cell cycle and this has been suggested to be a cause, rather than a consequence, of …

ATP is released from astrocytes and is involved in the propagation of calcium waves among
them. Neuronal ATP secretion is quantal and calcium-dependent, but it has been suggested …

During embryonic development of the mammalian brain, the average cell-cycle length of
progenitor cells in the ventricular zone is known to increase. However, for any given region of …

The G1 phase of the cell cycle of neuroepithelial cells, the progenitors of all neurons of the
mammalian central nervous system, has been known to lengthen concomitantly with the …

During mammalian cerebral cortex development, the G1-phase of the cell cycle is known to
lengthen, but it has been unclear which neural stem and progenitor cells are affected. In this …

Cell fate specification relies on the action of critical transcription factors that become
available at distinct stages of embryonic development. One such factor is NeuroD1, which is …

Transcriptome analysis of somatic stem cells and their progeny is fundamental to identify
new factors controlling proliferation versus differentiation during tissue formation. Here, we …
