This could be one
of the mechanisms responsible for the reduced regeneration capacity in the aged
brain as
stem cells that retain larger amounts
of damaged proteins require longer for the next
cell division.
But as
of now we are only just beginning to understand the molecular constituents and the true meaning
of the barrier for
stem cell division in the
brain.»
«We expect to use this approach to help us better understand how the complexity
of the human cortex arises from
cells that are spun off through
cell division from
stem cells in the germinal region
of the
brain.»
When a neural
stem cell becomes activated, it begins a process
of cell division that ultimately yields new neurons that connect to existing
brain circuits.
