Beyond the hippocampus and the SVZ: adult neurogenesis throughout the brain

MP Jurkowski, L Bettio, E K. Woo, A Patten… - Frontiers in cellular …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Convincing evidence has repeatedly shown that new neurons are produced in the
mammalian brain into adulthood. Adult neurogenesis has been best described in the …

Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus: from stem cells to behavior

JT Gonçalves, ST Schafer, FH Gage - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
The dentate gyrus of the mammalian hippocampus continuously generates new neurons
during adulthood. These adult-born neurons become functionally active and are thought to …

Neurogenesis in the embryonic and adult brain: same regulators, different roles

N Urbán, F Guillemot - Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Neurogenesis persists in adult mammals in specific brain areas, known as neurogenic
niches. Adult neurogenesis is highly dynamic and is modulated by multiple physiological …

In vivo reprogramming of astrocytes to neuroblasts in the adult brain

W Niu, T Zang, Y Zou, S Fang, DK Smith, R Bachoo… - Nature cell …, 2013 - nature.com
Adult differentiated cells can be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells or lineage-
restricted proliferating precursors in culture; however, this has not been demonstrated in …

In vivo conversion of astrocytes to neurons in the injured adult spinal cord

Z Su, W Niu, ML Liu, Y Zou, CL Zhang - Nature communications, 2014 - nature.com
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to irreversible neuronal loss and glial scar formation, which
ultimately result in persistent neurological dysfunction. Cellular regeneration could be an …

Oleic acid is an endogenous ligand of TLX/NR2E1 that triggers hippocampal neurogenesis

P Kandel, F Semerci, R Mishra… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Neural stem cells, the source of newborn neurons in the adult hippocampus, are intimately
involved in learning and memory, mood, and stress response. Despite considerable …

Factors that influence adult neurogenesis as potential therapy

B Shohayeb, M Diab, M Ahmed, DCH Ng - Translational …, 2018 - Springer
Adult neurogenesis involves persistent proliferative neuroprogenitor populations that reside
within distinct regions of the brain. This phenomenon was first described over 50 years ago …

Small molecules enable neurogenin 2 to efficiently convert human fibroblasts into cholinergic neurons

ML Liu, T Zang, Y Zou, JC Chang, JR Gibson… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Cell fate can be reprogrammed by modifying intrinsic and extrinsic cues. Here we show that
two small molecules (forskolin and dorsomorphin) enable the transcription factor …

Neural stem cell differentiation into mature neurons: mechanisms of regulation and biotechnological applications
