Abstract:Although the ependymal cells were reported to have the characteristics of neural stem cells (NSCs), the properties of CD133-ependymal cells have not been uncovered, in particular, it is largely unknown about the effect of Notch signaling pathway on the neurogenesis of CD133-positive ependymal cells. By using the transgenic mouse and primarily cultured ependymal cells, we found that the immunoreactivity for prominin-1/CD133 was exclusively localized in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and ependymal layer of ventri… Show more
