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.

COUP-TFI is required in the differentiation and migration of granule cells in the developing dentate gyrus

TL;DR: The results indicate that COUP-TFI is involved in regulating granule cell differentiation and migration predominantly in progenitors, and propose COUPTFI as a novel transcriptional regulator required in hippocampal development and functions.

Coordination of neuronal proliferation and migration during corticogenesis : role of p27kip1

TL;DR: Two-photon videomicroscopy observations on organotypic slices revealed that radial migration is faster in area 17 than 18, which indicates that area-specific variations of proliferation and migration rates are congruent during corticogenesis.

Identification of Radial Glia-like Cells in the Adult Mouse Olfactory Bulb

TL;DR: A newly-identified population of radial glia-like cells in the adult OB that might function uniquely in neuronal radial migration during adult OB neurogenesis is identified.

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.
