Age-related loss of neural stem cell O-GlcNAc promotes a glial fate switch through STAT3 activation [Cell Biology]

Increased neural stem cell (NSC) quiescence is a major determinant of age-related regenerative decline in the adult hippocampus. However, a coextensive model has been proposed in which division-coupled conversion of NSCs into differentiated astrocytes restrict the stem cell pool with age. Here we report that age-related loss of the posttranslational...
