Heterocellular contacts with mouse brain endothelial cells via laminin and α6β1 integrin sustain subventricular zone (SVZ) stem/progenitor cells properties.

Neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) is regulated by diffusible factors and cell-cell contacts. In vivo, SVZ stem cells are associated with the abluminal surface of blood vessels and such interactions are thought to regulate their neurogenic capacity. SVZ neural stem cells have been describ...
