An article by Armen Saghatelyan published in Cell demonstrates the role of light and calcium ions in the activation of neural stem cells in adulthood

Congratulations to Armen Saghatelyan and his team who published today in Cell an article demonstrating the role of light and calcium ions in the activation of neural stem cells in adulthood.

Read the original scientific article in Cell: A. Gengatharan, Malvaut, S., Marymonchyk, A., Ghareghani, M., Snapyan, M., Fischer-Sternjak, J., Ninkovic, J., Götz, M., et Saghatelyan, A.,  Adult neural stem cell activation in mice is regulated by the day/night cycle and intracellular calcium dynamics , Cell, 2021.
