Molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling neural stem cell activity
Brain Research Institute, University of Zurich
Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate new neurons throughout life. We use imaging-, genome editing-, and transgenesis-based approaches as well as cellular models of human diseases using pluripotent embryonic cells to study the molecular and cellular framework of NSC biology in the developing and adult brain. Aim of our research is to understand how physiologic and disease-associated alterations of neurogenesis are translated into stem cell-associated plastic changes in the developing and adult brain on a molecular, cellular, and behavioral level.
