This study shows that caveolin-1 maintains adult neural stem cell quiescence and lineage fidelity by promoting lysosomal degradation of PDGFRα.

This study measures lysosomal protein degradation in neural stem cells of postnatal mouse brain and finds age and disease-related fluctuations in lysosomal activity.

This study investigates the role of small extracellular vesicles in regulating neural stem cell quiescence and proliferation, finding that exosome inhibition affects cell cycle entry and maintenance of quiescence.
