| Research Abstract |
We have found the activity of the ependymal cells as glial precursor cells in the adult spinal cord. In this study, we elucidated that proliferation and differentiation of the ependymal cells are regulated by the intracellular signaling of Notch pathway. Also, we explored the possibility to convert this gliogenesis into neurogenesis and thus identified the factor which can regulate gliogenesis and neurogenesis.
