The distribution of progenitor cells in the subependymal layer of the lateral ventricle in the normal and Huntington’s disease human brain

The recent demonstration of endogenous stem/progenitor cells in the adult mammalian brain raises the exciting possibility that these undifferentiated cells may be able to generate new neurons for cell replacement in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease (HD). Previous studies have...
