We have used recently developed fluorescein- and rhodamine-conjugated dextran-amines
as axonal tracers in in vitro preparations of the nervous system of the chicken embryo. These …

Background Glioblastomas are invasive therapy resistant brain tumors with extremely poor
prognosis. The Glioma initiating cell (GIC) population contributes to therapeutic resistance …

Retinoid signaling plays an important role in the developmental patterning of the hindbrain.
Studies of the teratogenic effects of retinoids showed early on that the hindbrain suffered …

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been proposed as a potential source of neural cells
for use in repairing brain lesions, but previous studies indicate a low rate of neuronal …

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated ion channels broadly expressed in the
vertebrate nervous system, converting decreased extracellular pH into excitatory sodium …

We have studied the axonal projection patterns of commissural interneurons (CINs) in the
neonatal rat spinal cord. Some CINs are integral components of the neuronal networks in the …

Developmental and evolutionary data from vertebrates are beginning to elucidate the origin
of the sensorimotor pathway that links gravity and motion detection to image-stabilizing eye …

Differential fluorescence labeling and multi-fluorescence imaging followed by colocalization
analysis is commonly used to investigate cellular heterogeneity in situ. This is particularly …

The literature on the anatomical organization of primary sensory afferents, though extensive,
contains relatively little information about the longitudinal extent of the central collateral …

Detection of motion is a feature essential to any living animal. In vertebrates, mechanosensory
hair cells organized into the lateral line and vestibular systems are used to detect external …
