Description:
Article De novo neurogenesis occurs within the adult hypothalamus, suggesting the existence of a local neural stem cell niche. Here, the authors show that α-tanycytes lining the third ventricle are self-renewing multipotent neural stem cells, whose proliferation is dependent upon local FGF signalling.
