Molecular Biomarkers for Embryonic and Adult Neural Stem Cell and Neurogenesis

Figure 2

The schematic of adult neurogenesis and specific markers for specific cell types in different time-courses. (a) A model of the two major NSCs niches (labeled by the red panes) in the adult brain. (b) The process of adult neurogenesis originates from the active radial glial cells RGCs, (type-1 cells), generating intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs, type-2a, type-2ab, and type-2b cells), subsequently immature neurons, and finally mature neurons. The specific cell types emerging in the certain strategies are traced by various special markers [17]. GCL, granular cell layer; IPCs, intermediate progenitor cells; SGZ, subgranular zone.
