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 ...

Combined effects of aquaporin-4 and hypoxia produce age-related hydrocephalus
(Elsevier, 2018)
Aquaporin-4, present in ependymal cells, in glia limiting and abundantly in pericapillary astrocyte foot pro cesses, and aquaporin-1, expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells, play an important role in cerebrospinal fluid ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Cellular adaptation to oxygen deficiency beyond the Nobel award
(Willey, 2020)
Understanding the cellular adaptation to oxygen deficiency -hypoxia- has a profound impact on our knowledge of the pathogenesis of several diseases. The elucidation of the molecular machinery that regulates response to ...

Redox signaling in acute oxygen sensing
(Elsevier, 2017-04-26)
Acute oxygen (O2) sensing is essential for individuals to survive under hypoxic conditions. The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor, which contains excitable and O2-sensitive glomus cells with O2-regulated ...

Aquaporin-1 plays important role in proliferation by affecting cell cycle progression
(Wiley, 2016-06-16)
Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) has been associated with tumor development. Here, we investigated how AQP1 may affect cell proliferation. The proliferative rate of adult carotid body (CB) cells, known to proliferate under chronic ...
