Odorant receptor gene regulation: implications from genomic organizationErica Kratz
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
Trends Genet 18:29-34. 2002..Here, we address the evolutionary expansion of odorant receptor genes and the role genomic organization of these genes might have in their tightly regulated expression...
Functional genomic analysis of oligodendrocyte differentiationJason C Dugas
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA
J Neurosci 26:10967-83. 2006....
A crucial role for p57(Kip2) in the intracellular timer that controls oligodendrocyte differentiationJason C Dugas
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305 5125, USA
J Neurosci 27:6185-96. 2007..These findings reveal a novel part of the mechanism by which OPCs measure time and are likely to extend to similar timers in many other precursor cell types...
Dicer1 and miR-219 Are required for normal oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelinationJason C Dugas
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305 5125, USA
Neuron 65:597-611. 2010..Together, these findings show that miR-219 plays a critical role in coupling differentiation to proliferation arrest in the OL lineage, enabling the rapid transition from proliferating OPCs to myelinating OLs...
MicroRNAs in oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell differentiationJason C Dugas
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University, Stanford, Calif 94305 5125, USA
Dev Neurosci 33:14-20. 2011..In this review, we will discuss how individual miRNAs regulate these various processes, and also how miRNA production in general is required for several stages of myelin generation and maintenance...
Myelin gene regulatory factor is a critical transcriptional regulator required for CNS myelinationBen Emery
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305 5125, USA
Cell 138:172-85. 2009..These findings establish MRF as a critical transcriptional regulator essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination...
Disease gene candidates revealed by expression profiling of retinal ganglion cell developmentJack T Wang
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA
J Neurosci 27:8593-603. 2007..Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that CYP1B1 overexpression potentiates RGC survival...
A novel purification method for CNS projection neurons leads to the identification of brain vascular cells as a source of trophic support for corticospinal motor neuronsJason C Dugas
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305 5125
J Neurosci 28:8294-305. 2008....
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta limits the expansion of pathogenic Th cells during central nervous system autoimmunityShannon E Dunn
Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
J Exp Med 207:1599-608. 2010..Collectively, these findings suggest that PPAR-delta serves as an important molecular brake for the control of autoimmune inflammation...
