    Abstract

    Background: IGF-II promotes neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and self-renewal. Results: IGF-II analogs are useful for elucidating the receptors responsible for NSC expansion. Conclusion: F19A expands NSCs via IR-A. Significance: IGF-II promotes stemness of NSCs via the IR-A and not through activation of either the IGF-1R or the IGF-2R.
