Geropotency: Increased malignant potential of aging neural progenitors
human adult gliomas increased patient age is a robust predictor of malignant clinical behavior evidenced by increased incidence, histologic grade, resistance to therapy and shortened patient survival [1]. Despite these associations, the mechanisms responsible for age-related increases in glioma malignancy are poorly understood; a deficiency compounded by the lack of informative animal models. N...
متن کاملNeural stem cells are increased after loss of β-catenin, but neural progenitors undergo cell death.
Neurons and glia in the central nervous system originate from neural stem and progenitor cells that reside in the ventricular zones. Here we examine the role of β-catenin in neural stem cell (NSC) regulation in mouse embryos lacking β-catenin specifically in the brain germinal zone. An in vitro clonal neurosphere assay was performed in order to ascertain the status of the NSC population. Intact...
متن کاملCognitive aging and increased distractibility: costs and potential benefits.
Older adults show a characteristic pattern of impaired and spared functioning relative to younger adults. Elsewhere we have argued that many age-related changes in cognitive function are rooted in an impaired ability to inhibit irrelevant information and inappropriate responses. In this chapter we review evidence that as a direct result of impaired inhibitory processes, older adults tend to be ...
متن کاملIntermediate progenitors are increased by lengthening of the cell cycle through calcium signaling and p53 expression in human neural progenitors
During development, neurons can be generated directly from a multipotent progenitor or indirectly through an intermediate progenitor (IP). This last mode of division amplifies the progeny of neurons. The mechanisms governing the generation and behavior of IPs are not well understood. In this work, we demonstrate that the lengthening of the cell cycle enhances the generation of neurons in a huma...
متن کاملNeural progenitors play favorites
A simple way to get cleavage o partition cellular components into dividing daughter cells, the spindle apparatus induces the formation of a cleavage furrow, but results conflict about which specific components are required for this process. By physically dissecting the spindle apparatus in grasshopper spermato-cytes, Alsop and Zhang now show on page 383 that bundled microtubules are the only st...
