THE EGF PROTEIN DIARIES

New neurons are constantly generated from neural stem and progenitor cells in the adult mammalian brain (Encinas and Enikolopov, 2008; Zhao et al., 2008). Neurogenesis inside the adult brain is limited to two places: the subventricular zone (SVZ) on the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone (SGZ) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. While in the
