Figure 1 The Spindle Pole Orientation in Embryonic Progenitors Has a Long-Lasting Influence on the Adult Neural Stem Cell Pool The embryonic lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) contains a diverse array of progenitors, including radial glial cells (RGC, in blue) and small neural progenitors (SNP, in green), characterized by specific morphology and patterns of cell division. Adult neural stem cells (aNSC, in orange) residing in the adult subependymal zone (SEZ) emerge from LGE RGC. Time-specific overexpression of Inscuteable (Insc OE) or loss of function of LGN (dNLGN) in embryonic RGC results in misorentation of mitotic spindle and changes in patterns of division, which leads ultimately to a reduction in the pool of aNSC in adulthood.
