A big chunk of Tyler Dause’s thesis is out in Life Science Alliance. Quick summary: Adult hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) use self-signaling from VEGF to support their own migration towards/adhesion to local blood vessels.
Or you could read the whole thing! It’s open access so there are no excuses. https://www.life-science-alliance.org/content/7/7/e202402659
Stay tuned for the rest of Tyler’s thesis coming soon (currently under review)! It’s a real twist ending to the story this paper above starts.
