Oligodendrogliogenic and neurogenic adult subependymal zone neural stem cells constitute distinct lineages and exhibit differential responsiveness to Wnt signalling

TLDR
In vivo activation or inhibition of canonical Wnt signalling respectively increased or decreased the number of Olig2 and PDGFR- α positive cells, suggesting that this pathway contributes to the fine tuning of oligodendrogliogenesis in the adult SEZ.
Abstract
Adult mouse subependymal neural stem cells (aNSCs) give rise to neuronal and oligodendroglial progeny. Berninger and colleagues use continuous live imaging and single-cell tracking to demonstrate that single aNSCs isolated from the mouse brain generate exclusively either oligodendrocytes or neurons. They also show that Wnt activation stimulates oligodendrogenic progenitor proliferation without affecting neurogenic clones.

Microglia Enhance Neurogenesis and Oligodendrogenesis in the Early Postnatal Subventricular Zone

TL;DR: It is suggested that activated microglia accumulate in the early postnatal SVZ and that they enhance neurogenesis and oligodendrogenesis via released cytokines.

Wnt signalling regulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis

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.
