Journal ArticleDOI
Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain: significant answers and significant questions.
Guo Li Ming,Hongjun Song +1 more
TL;DR: Major advances in understanding of adult mammalian neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and from the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle, the rostral migratory stream to the olfactory bulb are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian central nervous system
Guo Li Ming,Hongjun Song +1 more
TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of adult neurogenesis will not only shed light on the basic principles of adult plasticity, but also may lead to strategies for cell replacement therapy after injury or degenerative neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain-Region-Specific Organoids Using Mini-bioreactors for Modeling ZIKV Exposure

Maher,Hao Wu,Peng Jin,Hengli Tang,Hongjun Song,Guo Li Ming +30 more
TL;DR: A miniaturized spinning bioreactor (SpinΩ) is developed to generate forebrain-specific organoids from human iPSCs that recapitulate key features of human cortical development, including progenitor zone organization, neurogenesis, gene expression, and, notably, a distinct human-specific outer radial glia cell layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astroglia induce neurogenesis from adult neural stem cells
TL;DR: These findings reinforce the emerging view that astrocytes have an active regulatory role—rather than merely supportive roles traditionally assigned to them—in the mature central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wnt signalling regulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis
Dieter Chichung Lie,Sophia A. Colamarino,Hongjun Song,Hongjun Song,Laurent Désiré,Helena Mira,Antonella Consiglio,Edward S. Lein,Sebastian Jessberger,Heather Lansford,Alejandro R. Dearie,Fred H. Gage +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that adult hippocampal stem/progenitor cells (AHPs) express receptors and signalling components for Wnt proteins, which are key regulators of neural stem cell behaviour in embryonic development, and that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is active and that Wnt3 is expressed in the hippocampal neurogenic niche.
