This study shows neural stem cells can maintain function outside their normal anatomical niche, revealing plasticity in stem-cell environment relationships.

This study shows that the intracellular domain of PCDH19 reduces spine density in cortical neurons by increasing Xlr gene expression, suggesting a role in synaptic homeostasis.

The paper shows that BMP4-induced ECM secretion by quiescent NSCs triggers YAP/TAZ to maintain quiescence through fractone preservation.

The paper identifies Sox9 as a key regulator of neurogenic behavior in radial glial progenitors, showing its role in maintaining stem cell identity and generating upper-layer neurons.
