Resistance of subventricular neural stem cells to chronic hypoxemia despite structural disorganization of the germinal center and impairment of neuronal and oligodendrocyte survival
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2015)
Chronic hypoxemia, as evidenced in de-acclimatized high-altitude residents or in patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disorders, is a common medical condition that can produce serious neurological alterations. ...

The carotid body, a neurogenic niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Univ pisa, 2010)
We have described a new population of adult neural stem cells residing in the carotid body, a chemoreceptor organ in the peripheral nervous system. These progenitor cells support neurogenesis in vivo in response to ...

The carotid body: a physiologically relevant germinal niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Springer, 2018-11-29)
Oxygen constitutes a vital element for the survival of every single cell in multicellular aerobic organisms like mammals. A complex homeostatic oxygen-sensing system has evolved in these organisms, including detectors and ...

Neurotransmitter Modulation of Carotid Body Germinal Niche
(MDPI AG, 2020-11-03)
The carotid body (CB), a neural-crest-derived organ and the main arterial chemoreceptor in mammals, is composed of clusters of cells called glomeruli. Each glomerulus contains neuron-like, O2-sensing glomus cells, which ...

An O-2-sensitive glomus cell-stem cell synapse induces carotid body growth in chronic hipoxia
(CELL PRESS, 2014-01-16)
Neural stem cells (NSCs) exist in germinal centers of the adult brain and in the carotid body (CB), an oxygen-sensing organ that grows under chronic hypoxemia. How stem cell lineage differentiation into mature glomus cells ...

Carotid body oxygen sensing and adaptation to hipoxia
(Springer, 2015-09)
The carotid body (CB) is the principal arterial chemoreceptor that mediates the hyperventilatory response to hypoxia. Our understanding of CB function and its role in disease mechanisms has progressed considerably in the ...

Physiological Plasticity of Neural-Crest-Derived Stem Cells in the Adult Mammalian Carotid Body
(Cell Press, 2017)
Adult stem cell plasticity, or the ability of somatic stem cells to cross boundaries and differentiate into unrelated cell types, has been amatter of debate in the last decade. Neural-crest-derived stem cells (NCSCs) ...

Neural crest derived progenitor cells contribute to tumor stroma and aggressiveness in stage 4/M neuroblastoma
(Impact Journals, 2017)
Pediatric tumors arise upon oncogenic transformation of stem/progenitor cells during embryonic development. Given this scenario, the existence of non-tumorigenic stem cells included within the aberrant tumoral niche, ...

Gene expression profiling supports the neural crest origin of adult rodent carotid body stem cells and identifies CD10 as a marker for mesectoderm-committed progenitors
(WILEY, 2016)
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are promising tools for understanding nervous system plasticity and repair, but their use is hampered by the lack of markers suitable for their prospective isolation and characterization. The carotid ...
