}Neurogenesis in the mammalian central nervous system is believed to end in the period just after birth; in the mouse striatum no new neurons are produced after the first few days after birth. In this study, cells isolated from the striatum of the adult mouse brain were induced to proliferate in vitro by epidermal growth factor. The proliferating cells initially expressed nestin, an intermediate filament found in neuroepithelial stem cells, and subsequently developed the morphology and antigenic…

Low concentrations of a replication-deficient, recombinant retrovirus are injected directly into the lateral ventricles of adult mice for uptake by mitotically active subependymal cells, suggesting the fate of the postmitotic progeny is death.
