Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of maternal cytokine surges, particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6), on the development of adult neural stem cell pools in offspring.
- It finds that exposure to elevated IL-6 during fetal development leads to an increased number of neural precursors in the adult forebrain and disrupts olfactory neurogenesis.
- This research reveals a specific self-renewal pathway for neural stem cells that may be influenced by maternal cytokine levels, suggesting that such maternal health issues can have lasting impacts on the progeny’s brain development.
