TLDR
Evidence for the distinct "glial" nature of radial glial cells is reviewed and progenitors with clear glial antigenic characteristics act as cellular intermediates are contrasted with the neuroepithelial cells.

Prenatal freeze lesioning produces epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia

TL;DR: A novel rat model is created by freeze lesioning during the late embryonic stage to verify whether FCD influences seizure activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The receptor for Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is expressed in radial glia during development of the nervous system

TL;DR: The data imply that in addition to the function of G-CSF and its receptor in adult neurogenesis, this system also has a role in embryonic Neurogenesis and nervous system development.

Cell-replacement therapy and neural repair in the retina

TL;DR: Recent advances in the development of cell-replacement approaches for the treatment of currently incurable degenerative retinal diseases are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro recapitulation of neural development using embryonic stem cells: from neurogenesis to histogenesis.

TL;DR: The ability of ES cells to generate not only specific neuronal populations but also functional neural tissues by recapitulating microenvironments in early mammalian development is reviewed.

Neuron–Astroglial Interactions in Cell-Fate Commitment and Maturation in the Central Nervous System

TL;DR: It is argued that the functional architecture of the brain depends on an intimate neuron-glia partnership, by briefly discussing the emerging view of how neuron-astrocyte dysfunctions might be associated with neurodegenerative diseases and neurological disorders.

Cortical neurons arise in symmetric and asymmetric division zones and migrate through specific phases

TL;DR: It is shown here that neurons are generated in two proliferative zones by distinct patterns of division, and newborn neurons do not migrate directly to the cortex; instead, most exhibit four distinct phases of migration, including a phase of retrograde movement toward the ventricle before migration to the cortical plate.

Conversion of embryonic stem cells into neuroectodermal precursors in adherent monoculture.

TL;DR: It is reported that neither multicellular aggregation nor coculture is necessary for ES cells to commit efficiently to a neural fate and this system provides a platform for defining the molecular machinery of neural commitment and optimizing the efficiency of neuronal and glial cell production from pluripotent mammalian stem cells.

Pax6, Tbr2, and Tbr1 Are Expressed Sequentially by Radial Glia, Intermediate Progenitor Cells, and Postmitotic Neurons in Developing Neocortex

TL;DR: It is shown that the transition from radial glia to intermediate progenitor cell is associated with upregulation of Tbr2, a T-domain transcription factor, and downregulation of Pax6, a homeodomain transcription factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of radial glial cells by fluorescent-activated cell sorting reveals a neuronal lineage.

TL;DR: Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, it is shown that radial glial cells also are neuronal precursors and only later, after neurogenesis, do they shift towards an exclusive generation of astrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A unified hypothesis on the lineage of neural stem cells.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the stem cells in the central nervous system are contained within the neuroepithelial → radial glia → astrocyte lineage.
