“…Like in embryonic neurogenesis, WNT signaling is essential for adult neurogenesis ( Lie et al, 2005 ; Kuwabara et al, 2009 ; Munji et al, 2011 ). WNT molecules are involved in numerous steps of adult neurogenesis, including self-renewal, activation of quiescent NSCs, proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and functional integration of newly formed neurons ( Lake and Sokol, 2009 ; Ezan et al, 2021 ; Hakanen et al, 2022 ). Mutations in WNT genes affect the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs ( Xu et al, 2020 ).…”
