Wnt/beta-catenin signalling is dispensable for adult neural stem cell homeostasis and activation.

Sophie H. L. Austin, Rut Gabarró‐Solanas, Piero Rigo…·Noelia Urbán

This study shows that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is not required for adult hippocampal NSC homeostasis, despite their responsiveness to the signal.

Progressive changes in hippocampal stem cell properties ensure lifelong neurogenesis

Lachlan Harris, Piero Rigo, Thomas Stiehl…·François Guillemot

The paper shows that hippocampal stem cells in mice undergo progressive behavioral changes that reduce depletion and ensure lifelong neurogenesis.
