Astrocyte maturation creates a stage-specific niche that instructs hippocampal neurogenesis

Astrocytes are a major part of the hippocampal stem cell niche and have been shown to control several steps of neurogenesis, from neural stem and precursor cell (NSPC) proliferation to the differentiation and maturation of newborn neurons. With the aim to identify new factors by which astrocytes promote neurogenesis, w...
