Enhanced lysosomal degradation maintains the quiescent state of neural stem cells

It remains unclear why quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the subventricular zone of the mouse brain have enlarged lysosomes. Here, authors demonstrate that qNSCs exhibit higher lysosomal activity and degrade activated EGF receptor by endolysosomal degradation more rapidly than proliferating NSC...
