What are the molecular mechanisms by which growth hormone activates periventricular neural stem cells?

OPEN

The study demonstrates that exercise-induced NSC activation requires GH signaling, but the specific molecular pathways linking GH receptor activation to NSC proliferation remain unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapies to combat age-related neurodegeneration. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Exercise increases neural stem cell number in a growth hormone-dependent manner, augmenting the regenerative response in aged mice.
