- 阐明Foxg1通过哪些机制影响寡基细胞前体细胞 (OPC) 增殖,成熟和髓化.
主要方法:
- 在NestinCreER;Foxg1的神经祖先小鼠中,Foxg1基因的条件删除.
- 在产后0天 (P0) 诱导他莫西芬,以触发基因删除.
- 分析髓化,OPC标记物 (PDGFRα,Hes5,Olig2,Sox10) 和细胞周期状态.
主要成果:
- 福克斯g1缺乏导致髓化暂时延迟,在出生后30天恢复.
- 缺乏Foxg1可以防止PDGFRα信号的及时减弱,并减少OPC细胞周期的退出,导致过度增殖和延迟成熟.

01:30Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
01:51Determination
During embryogenesis, cells become progressively committed to different fates through a two-step process: specification followed by determination. Specification is demonstrated by removing a segment of an early embryo, “neutrally” culturing the tissue in vitro—for example, in a petri dish with simple medium—and then observing the derivatives. If the cultured region gives rise to cell types that it would normally generate in the embryo, this means that it is specified. In contrast, determination...
