Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression and inhibition of Notch signaling synergistically induce neurogenic competence in mammalian Muller glia.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Nguyet Le, Sherine Awad, Isabella Palazzo, Thanh Hoang and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: Retinal Müller glia in cold-blooded vertebrates can reprogram into neurogenic progenitors to replace neurons lost to injury, but mammals lack this ability. While recent studies have shown that transgenic overexpression of neurogenic bHLH factors and glial-specific […]

Heterogeneous responses to embryonic critical period perturbations among different components of the Drosophila larval locomotor circuit

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Niklas Krick, Jacob Davies, Bramwell Coulson, Daniel Sobrido-Camean, Michael Miller, Matthew C.W. Oswald, Aref Arzan Zarin, Richard Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing neural circuits become functional, they undergo a phase of heightened plasticity in response to intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli. These developmental windows are termed critical […]
