CSF Makes Waves in the Neural Stem Cell Niche.
Adult neural stem cells reside in specialized niches that maintain neurogenesis, but the components of the niche and its secretome are only partially understood. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Silva-Vargas et al. (2016) show that choroid plexus, within the lateral ventricles of the adult brain, secretes signals that regulate adult neurogenesis in an age-dependent manner.
