Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue01:15

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

894
In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...

Determination

18.6K
During embryogenesis, cells become progressively committed to different fates through a two-step process: specification followed by determination. Specification is demonstrated by removing a segment of an early embryo, “neutrally” culturing the tissue in vitro—for example, in a petri dish with simple medium—and then observing the derivatives. If the cultured region gives rise to cell types that it would normally generate in the embryo, this means that it is specified. In...

    Summary

    Researchers discovered how nerve cell regeneration is initiated after injury in the Hofstenia worm. The NFY transcription factor binds to DNA early in regeneration, activating Sox4 stem cells to create new neurons.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Whole-body regeneration in animals involves replacing missing cell types and organs.
    • Brain regeneration requires forming diverse neurons and organized neural circuits.
    • Transcriptional programs for neuronal differentiation are known, but their initiation post-amputation is unclear.

    Conclusions:

    • NFY acts as an early wound-induced transcriptional regulator, initiating neuronal differentiation pathways.
    • NFY directly controls the wound-induced expression of Sox4, a key regulator of neural stem cell differentiation.
    • This study uncovers a mechanism for initiating neurogenesis during regeneration in Hofstenia miamia.
