Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Seiji Hitoshi"
- Seiji Hitoshi's recent research primarily focuses on adult neurogenesis and the behavior of neural stem cells (NSCs) in various contexts, including their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation in the adult brain.
- His studies have demonstrated that depletion of transit amplifying cells does not affect the quiescent NSC pool size, highlighting the resilience of these stem cells and their role in maintaining neuronal populations in adults.
- Hitoshi also investigates genetic factors influencing neural development, as seen in his work on the effects of Fut9 deficiency on cortical and retinal development, as well as utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 techniques for precise genomic editing relevant to neurodegenerative diseases.
