CSPG is a secreted factor that stimulates neural stem cell survival possibly by enhanced EGFR signaling.
Understanding how autocrine/paracrine factors regulate neural stem cell (NSC) survival and growth is fundamental to the utilization of these cells for therapeutic applications and as cellular models for the brain. In vitro, NSCs can be propagated along with neural progenitors (NPs) as neurospheres (...
