Pro-neurogenesis therapy rescues hippocampal-mediated learning and memory deficits in the ts65dn mouse model of Down syndrome

Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of mental retardation in adults and children. It has been proposed that cognitive disabilities associated with DS may be ascribed to neurogenesis impairment during both development and adulthood. This view is s ...

Recruiting new neurons from the subventricular zone to the rat postnatal cortex: an organotypic slice culture model

The neurogenic subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle is a potential source for neuronal replacement in the postnatal or adult neocortex after injury. Here we present a novel model system to directly explore the cellular mechanisms of this proc ...

Using Animal Models to Investigate the Functions of Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis

Arnaud Fragnière

To investigate the function(s) of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, behavioral testing with two different animal models was conducted. The first model utilised transgenic mice expressing a Wnt signalling inhibitor (dnWNT) in the DG to knock-down neurogenesis ...

Prospective identification of hematopoietic and neural stem/progenitor cells using transgenic and lentiviral based approaches

Didier Surdez

Adult stem cells represent only a minor proportion of a given tissue and are difficult to amplify in vitro without affecting their biological properties. To circumvent this problem, we used a transgenic/lentiviral based approach to isolate and characterize ...

Neural commitment of embryonic stem cells: molecules, pathways and potential for cell therapy

David Michael Suter

The study of neuronal differentiation of embryonic stem cells has raised major interest over recent years. It allows a better understanding of fundamental aspects of neurogenesis and, at the same time, the generation of neurons as tools for various applica ...

Cellular mechanisms regulating adult neurogenesis and olfactory perception in mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Thomas Brionne

In the adult mammalian brain, neural stem cells persist in the subventricular zone and the hippocampus, producing new functional neurons throughout life. Whether and how adult neurogenesis maintains brain function remains highly debated. This question is o ...

In vivo transcriptional profile analysis reveals RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling as prominent processes for adult neurogenesis

Felix Naef

Neural stem cells and neurogenesis persist in the adult mammalian brain subventricular zone (SVZ). Cells born in the rodent SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb (Ob) where they differentiate into interneurons. To determine the gene expression and functional p ...

Jagged1 signals in the postnatal subventricular zone are required for neural stem cell self-renewal

Freddy Radtke

Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the postnatal mammalian brain self-renew and are a source of neurons and glia. To date, little is known about the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating the maintenance and differentiation of these multipotent progenitors. ...

Conditional mutation of Rb causes cell cycle defects without apoptosis in the central nervous system

Targeted disruption of the retinoblastoma gene in mice leads to embryonic lethality in midgestation accompanied by defective erythropoiesis. Rb(-/-) embryos also exhibit inappropriate cell cycle activity and apoptosis in the central nervous system (CNS), p ...

Developmental and spatial expression pattern of syntaxin 13 in the mouse central nervous system

Harald Hirling, Juan-Carlos Sarria

Vesicular transport involves SNARE (soluble- N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor-attachment-protein-receptor) proteins on transport vesicles and on target membranes. Syntaxin 13 is a SNARE enriched in brain, associated with recycling endosomes; its overexpre ...
