چکیده
Small molecules that can alter stem cell fate are of immense biological and therapeutic values. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Saxe and colleagues report a chemical genetic screen that identified an orphan ligand, P-Ser, which can modulate neural stem/progenitor cell fate.

متن کاملTLX: A master regulator for neural stem cell maintenance and neurogenesis.
The orphan nuclear receptor TLX, also known as NR2E1, is an essential regulator of neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewal, maintenance, and neurogenesis. In vertebrates, TLX is specifically localized to the neurogenic regions of the forebrain and retina throughout development and adulthood. TLX regulates the expression of genes involved in multiple pathways, such as the cell cycle, DNA replication...
متن کاملOrphan nuclear receptor TLX regulates astrogenesis by modulating BMP signaling
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing multipotent progenitors that generate both neurons and glia. The precise control of NSC behavior is fundamental to the architecture and function of the central nervous system. We previously demonstrated that the orphan nuclear receptor TLX is required for postnatal NSC activation and neurogenesis in the neurogenic niche. Here, we show that TLX modulate...
