Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences IZN, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Cell Tissue Res 333:353-71. 2008..In order to comprehend this process fully, the role of individual GFLs, the transduction of the GFL signals, and the interplay of GFL signalling with other regulatory pathways need to be deciphered...
Expression of neuronal markers suggests heterogeneity of chick sympathoadrenal cells prior to invasion of the adrenal anlagenUwe Ernsberger
Department of Neuroanatomy, Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences IZN, University of Heidelberg, INF 307, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany

Development of chromaffin cells depends on MASH1 functionKatrin Huber
Neuroanatomy, Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences IZN, University of Heidelberg, INF 307, D 69120 Heidelberg, Germany
Development 129:4729-38. 2002..Together, these findings suggest that the development of chromaffin cells does depend on MASH1 function not only for catecholaminergic differentiation but also for general chromaffin cell differentiation...
Cholinergic differentiation occurs early in mouse sympathetic neurons and requires Phox2bK Huber

Mech Dev 109:295-302. 2001..We therefore conclude that neutralization of endogenous TGF-beta influences chromaffin cell proliferation, but does not interfere with the development of the typical chromaffin cell phenotype...
Lack of an adrenal cortex in Sf1 mutant mice is compatible with the generation and differentiation of chromaffin cellsPhilipp Gut
Neuroanatomy and Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences IZN of Heidelberg, INF 307, D 69120 Heidelberg, Germany
Development 132:4611-9. 2005..Our results suggest that cortical cues are not essential for determining chromaffin cell fate, but may be required for proper migration of SA progenitors to and/or colonization of the adrenal anlage...

Department of Neuroanatomy, Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Ann N Y Acad Sci 971:554-9. 2002..Together, our data suggest that TGF-betas and BMP-4 do not seem to be essential for chromaffin cell differentiation. In contrast with previous reports, however, MASH-1 apparently plays a crucial role in chromaffin cell development...
