Isolation and characterization of neural stem/progenitor cells in the subventricular zone of the naked mole-rat brain
Abstract Background The naked mole-rat (NMR) is the longest-lived rodent with a maximum lifespan of more than 37 years and shows a negligible senescence phenotype, suggesting that tissue stem cells of NMRs are highly capable of maintaining homeostasis. However, the properties of NMR tissue stem cell...
