Dissecting neural circuits for adult neural stem cell regulation - Juan Song

Apr 04, 2019 (Thu) | 12:00 PM -1:00 PM
318 Campus Drive, Clark Auditorium : Stanford, CA

A growing body of data in many tissue systems indicates that stem cell function is critically influenced by the microenvironment in which stem cells reside. Therefore, the stem cell niche represents a critical entry point for therapeutic modulation of stem cell behavior. Dr. Song will discuss recent findings on how distinct neural circuits regulate adult NSCs and how NSCs interpret diverse niche signals from the local environment to make the ultimate decision to stay in quiescence or become activated.
