Mitotic activity in the primate subependymal layer and the genesis of gliomas.

摘要: Globus and Kuhlenbeck1,2 drew attention to the presence beneath lining of cerebral ventricles a distinct cell layer, which they named subependymal plate. They demonstrated it in brain human infants, showed contain primitive cells stressed its possible role development certain paraventricular neoplasms. Various workers3–5 have shown persistence layer man from foetal adult life, but except for explaining origin “subependymomas”6 idea that this zone plays part genesis gliomas has met with little support.
