Identification of radial glia-like cells in the adult mouse olfactory bulb

► We have identified a novel population of adult olfactory radial glia-like cells (AORGs). ► AORGs are radially oriented, and restricted to the granular layer of the OB. ► AORGs exhibit phenotypical characteristics of forebrain radial glia. ► AORGs are generated locally throughout life, and exhibit long-term survival. ► AORGs might likely play a role in radial neuronal migration in the postnatal OB.
