Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) demonstrates that these cells represent a previously unappreciated population of qNSCs with a unique transcriptional profile and a less differentiated state than the canonically accepted GLAST+ NSCs. In particular, the analysis further reveals expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (5-HT2C receptor) and prolactin receptor (PRLR), which were previously functionally correlated with qNSCs but not captured or profiled in RNAseq experiments. This study also identifies novel markers, including Kcnj13, a gene that encodes the potassium channel KiR7.1, that define the identity of these cells.2026/06/09GSE311603GSM9327973GSM9327972GSM9327975GSM932797421626311603Mus musculus
