Plxdc2 Is a Mitogen for Neural Progenitors
The development of different brain regions involves the coordinated control of proliferation and cell fate specification along and across the neuraxis. Here, we identify Plxdc2 as a novel regulator of these processes, using in ovo electroporation and in vitro cultures of mammalian cells. Plxdc2 is a type I transmembrane protein with some homology to nidogen and to plexins. It is expressed in a ...
متن کاملVEGF is a chemoattractant for FGF-2–stimulated neural progenitors
Migration of undifferentiated neural progenitors is critical for the development and repair of the nervous system. However, the mechanisms and factors that regulate migration are not well understood. Here, we show that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, a major angiogenic factor, guides the directed migration of neural progenitors that do not display antigenic markers for neuron- or g...
متن کاملNeurotrophin 3 is a mitogen for cultured neural crest cells.
Neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) promotes the survival and induces neurite outgrowth from a subset of neural crest (NC) and placode-derived neurons. We now report that this growth factor regulates the proliferation of cultured NC progenitor cells grown in a serum-free defined medium. In cultures of somites containing NC cells at migratory stages, NT-3 promotes a 2- to 8.4-fold increase in the number of NC...
متن کاملNeural progenitors play favorites
A simple way to get cleavage o partition cellular components into dividing daughter cells, the spindle apparatus induces the formation of a cleavage furrow, but results conflict about which specific components are required for this process. By physically dissecting the spindle apparatus in grasshopper spermato-cytes, Alsop and Zhang now show on page 383 that bundled microtubules are the only st...
