BMP signaling suppresses Gemc1 expression and ependymal differentiation of mouse telencephalic progenitors

Abstract The lateral ventricles of the adult mammalian brain are lined by a single layer of multiciliated ependymal cells, which generate a flow of cerebrospinal fluid through directional beating of their cilia as well as regulate neurogenesis through interaction with adult neural stem cells. Ependy...
