TLDR
Targeted disruption of Olig1 and Olig2 genes sheds light on the ontogeny of oligodendroglia and genetic requirements for their development from multipotent CNS progenitors, indicating that oligod endodendrocytes are derived from Olig-specified progenitor that give rise also to neurons.

TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.

Directed Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Motor Neurons

TL;DR: It is shown that developmentally relevant signaling factors can induce mouse embryonic stem cells to differentiate into spinal progenitor cells, and subsequently into motor neurons, through a pathway recapitulating that used in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proneural genes and the specification of neural cell types

TL;DR: Parallel studies in Drosophila and vertebrates have revealed that proneural genes are key regulators of neurogenesis, coordinating the acquisition of a generic neuronal fate and of specific subtype identities that are appropriate for the location and time of neuronal generation.

The bHLH Transcription Factors OLIG2 and OLIG1 Couple Neuronal and Glial Subtype Specification

TL;DR: The results suggest that in the spinal cord, Olig and proneural genes comprise a combinatorial code for the specification of neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroCytes, the three fundamental cell types of the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competing waves of oligodendrocytes in the forebrain and postnatal elimination of an embryonic lineage.

TL;DR: It is shown, by Cre-lox fate mapping in transgenic mice, that the first OLPs originate in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) and anterior entopeduncular area (AEP) in the ventral forebrain, and that functionally redundant populations of OLPs compete for space in the developing brain.

Neuronal specification in the spinal cord: inductive signals and transcriptional codes

TL;DR: The mechanisms that specify the identity of neural cells have been examined in many regions of the nervous system and reveal a high degree of conservation in the specification of cell fate by key signalling molecules.

A homeodomain protein code specifying progenitor cell identity and neuronal fate in the ventral neural tube

TL;DR: Cross-repressive interactions between class I and class II proteins appear to refine and maintain these progenitor domains, which generate a distinct class of postmitotic neurons in the ventral third of the neural tube.
