报告内容简介：
The mammalian brain contains millions of neurons and glial cells. Normal cerebral brain development plays an important role in controlling behavior, learning and cognition. During neurogenesis, neural progenitor cells (NPCs) proliferate and differentiate into neurons of cortical layers, which are precisely controlled by various intracellular and extracellular signaling pathways. NPCs of the brain are mainly PAX6-positive apical progenitor cells and TBR2-positive basal progenitor cells. Although more and more molecules are reported involved in the proliferation of progenitor cells, how neurogenesis is regulated by epigenetic factors during the embryonic development of the cerebral cortex remains largely to be investigated. Here, we found a series of epigenetic molecules and modifications are essential for the proliferation and self-renewal of neural stem cells.
