The ependymal cells lining the lateral ventricles are not stem cells, but a study now shows that they can be activated to generate neuroblasts in a stroke model, and mature olfactory bulb neurons ...

In a recent study, Llorens-Bobadilla and colleagues investigated whether endogenous ependymal stem cells are a source of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes after a spinal cord injury. 2 Ependymal ...

It has been controversial whether the ependymal cells that line cerebral ventricles can generate neurons in the adult brain. This study reports that Notch signaling keeps ependymal cells in their ...

Viruses may spark hydrocephalus by exploiting a surprising weakness of cells that circulate fluid in the brain, called ependymal cells, report scientists. The researchers discovered that ependymal ...

Water regulation plays a crucial role in the human body. Water flux between cells is facilitated by proteins embedded in the membrane, so-called aquaporins. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute ...

Water governs cell movement: Aquaporins play key role, new research finds. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2013 / 05 / 130514085314.htm.

The ependymal cells that the tool identified were found to arise from embryonic progenitor cells that shared a same protein as dendritic cells on their surface, which revealed them to the scientists.

The study provides compelling evidence of the limited regenerative capacity of ependymal cells in adult primate spinal cord injury and underscores the transdifferentiation potential of astrocytes.

Those strongly affected included microglia and border-associated macrophages, oligodendrocytes, tanycytes, and ependymal cells. They found that in aging brains, ...

26 Nov 2024. Cryo-EM has solved yet another molecular riddle. In the September 6 Acta Neuropathologica, scientists led by Bernardino Ghetti, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, ...

Aquaporins (AQPs), also called water channels, are channel proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells and are expressed in ...
