Neural progenitor cells isolated from the subventricular zone present hemichannel activity and form functional gap junctions with glial cells

Neural progenitor cells isolated from the subventricular zone present hemichannel activity and form functional gap junctions with glial cells

The postnatal subventricular zone lining the walls of the lateral ventricles contains neural progenitor cells (NPCs) that generate new olfactory bulb interneurons. Communication via gap junctions between cells in the subventricular zone is involved in NPC proliferation and in neuroblast migration to...
