THE SPECIFICATION OF DORSAL CELL FATES IN THE VERTEBRATE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Lee, Kevin J., Jessell, Thomas M.·1999·Annual Review of Neuroscience

Abstract

▪ Abstract The generation of distinct classes of neurons at defined positions within the developing vertebrate nervous system depends on inductive signals provided by local cell groups that act as organizing centers. Genetic and embryological studies have begun to elucidate the processes that control the pattern and identity of neuronal cell types. Here we discuss the cellular interactions and molecular mechanisms that direct neuronal cell fates in the dorsal half of the vertebrate central nervous system. The specification of dorsal neuronal cell fates appears to depend on a cascade of inductive signals initiated by cells of the epidermal ectoderm that flank the neural plate and propagated by roof plate cells within the neural tube. Members of the transforming growth factor−β(TGFβ) family of secreted proteins have a prominent role in mediating these dorsalizing signals. Additional signals involving members of the Wnt and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families may also contribute to the proliferation and differentiation of dorsal neuronal cell types.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
