ULK1 and ULK2 are not required for maintaining the neural stem cells in the hippocampus. (A) Immunostaining of markers for neuronal stem cells (SOX2; green), mitotic cells (MKI67/KI67; red), and mature neurons (RBFOX3/NEUN; blue) in the dentate gyrus of adult control and Ulk1/2-cDKO mice. (B) The mean number ± SEM of the 3 cell types in the dentate gyrus showed no statistical significance between controls (n = 3) and Ulk1/2-cDKO (n = 3) mice. Abbreviations: GZ, granule zone; ns, not significant; SGZ, subgranular zone.
