Published: February 2025

Adult neural stem cells divide to produce neurons that migrate to preexisting neuronal circuits in a process named adult neurogenesis. Adult neurogenesis is one of the most exciting areas of current neuroscience, and it may be involved in a range of brain functions, including cognition, learning, memory, and social and behavior changes. While there is a growing number of multi-omics studies on adult neurogenesis, generalized analyses from a multi-omics perspective are lacking. In this review, we summarize studies related to genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and microbiomics of adult neurogenesis, and then discuss their future research priorities and potential neighborhoods. This will provide theoretical guidance and new directions for future research on adult neurogenesis.

Background: Achaete-Scute complex homolog 1 (ASCL1) is a multi-faceted pro-neural transcription factor, playing a role in several processes during embryonic development and into adulthood, including neural progenitor proliferation and neuronal differentiation. This versatility is achieved through tightly controlled expression of ASCL1, either via integrating intracellular signalling cues or stabilisation at the protein level. The role of kinases in ASCL1-mediated neurogenesis is emerging, but to date few kinases have been attributed to act directly or indirectly on ASCL1.

Age-Related Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Stem Cell's Perspective.

Neurodegenerative diseases encompass a number of very heterogeneous disorders, primarily characterized by neuronal loss and a concomitant decline in neurological function. Examples of this type of clinical condition are Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Age has been identified as a major risk in the etiology of these disorders, which explains their increased incidence in developed countries.

PTN activity in quiescent neural stem cells mediates Shank3 overexpression-induced manic behavior.

Mania is a complex psychiatric disease characterized by hyperactivity, elevated mood and reduced anxiety. Despite extensive studies on the mechanism of the manic episodes, the molecular targets that control manic pathogenesis remain largely unclear. Here, through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis, we show aberrant adult neurogenesis due to increased numbers of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSC) in a manic mouse model with Shank3 overexpression.

Whole-cell patch clamp allows the evaluation of neuronal excitability and characterization of synaptic transmission. With this technique, it is possible to characterize the neuron maturation level and its integration into the hippocampal circuit. This facilitates the identification of the different stages of neural progenitor cells in the adult brain and their contribution to hippocampal function.

Electroporation Techniques to Target Subependymal Zone Neurogenic Niche.

In vivo electroporation is a technique that allows for the transfection of specific neuronal progenitor pools in the developing embryo or during early postnatal stages. By combining plasmid DNA injection with the application of electric pulses, this method directs DNA to the targeted region, facilitating its entry into neural stem cells. This approach enables functional experiments by perturbing genes of interest and conducting cell-tracking studies using fluorescent proteins.
