SVCT2 Vitamin C Transporter Expression in Progenitor Cells of the Postnatal Neurogenic Niche

SVCT2 Vitamin C Transporter Expression in Progenitor Cells of the Postnatal Neurogenic Niche

Known as a critical antioxidant, recent studies suggest that vitamin C plays an important role in stem cell generation, proliferation and differentiation. Vitamin C also enhances neural differentiation during cerebral development, a function that has not been studied in brain precursor cells. We obs...
