Brain's Immature Neuroblasts: A New Hope for Regeneration

Deep within the mouse brain, in the subventricular zone, lies a special group of cells called neural stem cells (NSCs). These cells give birth to others called transient-amplifying progenitors (TAPs), which in turn generate neuroblasts (NBs). These cells all play important roles in a process called
