Regulation of human neural stem cell fate determination by proteoglycans

(2017) Regulation of human neural stem cell fate determination by proteoglycans. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis investigated how human neural stem cells are regulated, focusing specifically on heparan sulfate proteoglycans, the key proteins of the extracellular space. The findings of this study identified central roles for proteoglycans in mediating neural stem cell events, including self-renewal and differentiation. This research has improved our understanding of human stem cell and human neurogenesis biology and provided novel approaches for the development of improved neural stem cell applications, including using these cells for brain damage therapy.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
