Cover of the March issue in Molecular Neurobiology

Editors have chosen one of our figures for the Cover of Molecular Neurobiology March issue.

Legend: In rodent spinal cord, neural precursors/stem cells are arranged around the central canal, like the seeds around the central placenta (white core) of the kiwi fruit. But in adult humans central canal is collapsed, and ependymal cells rearrange forming cell aggregations like those formed by seeds in the pomegranate. In the current paper, we show that Wnts are expressed both in rats and human ependymal region, but with a different pattern, suggesting a role for this family of proteins in both species, but probably different functional implications in each of them.
