Pediatric traumatic brain injury elicits acute neuroinflammation and long-term changes in social, cognitive, and decision-making behaviors in male and female rats

Marissa A. Smail, Miranda Y McDonald, Rebecca Boland, Michaela R. Breach, Courtney N. Dye, Jenna E McCloskey, Kris M Martens, Ashley E. Walters, Alejandra Zaleta Lastra, Jake Roush, Emily Yeung, Alexander E. Weinstein, Erin Gorman-Sandler, Cole Vonder Haar, Olga N. Kokiko‐Cochran, Kathryn M. Lenz

This study shows that pediatric TBI in rats leads to long-term cognitive, social, and decision-making impairments, linked to acute neuroimmune changes.

Neural stem and progenitor cells support and protect adult hippocampal function via vascular endothelial growth factor secretion.

Lisa N. Miller, Ashley E. Walters, Jiyeon K. Denninger, Meretta A. Hanson, Alec H. Marshall, Aidan C. Johantges, Manal M. Hosawi, Gwendolyn Sebring, Joshua D. Rieskamp, Tianli Ding, Raina Rindani, Kelly S. Chen, Megan E. Goldberg, Sakthi Senthilvelan, Abigail Volk, , Elizabeth D. Kirby

This study shows that adult hippocampal NSPCs secrete VEGF, which supports and protects hippocampal function independently of neurogenesis.

Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 supports adult hippocampal neural stem cell self-renewal.

Joshua D. Rieskamp, Ileanexis Rosado-Burgos, Jacob E. Christofi, Eliza Ansar, Dalia Einstein, Ashley E. Walters, Valentina Valentini, John P. Bruno, Elizabeth D. Kirby

The paper shows that EAAT1 facilitates glutamate-induced self-renewal of adult hippocampal NSCs through lipogenesis, highlighting a non-canonical mechanism of niche sensing.

Neural stem cell expressed vascular endothelial growth factor maintains the neurogenic vascular niche of the adult mouse hippocampus

Tyler J. Dause, Jiyeon K. Denninger, Robert Osap, Ashley E. Walters, Joshua D. Rieskamp, Akela A. Kuwahara, Elizabeth D. Kirby

This study shows that neural stem cells in the adult mouse hippocampus use VEGF to maintain their connection to vasculature and regulate their own motility and quiescence through internal signaling.
