Little Known Facts, Controversies and Misconceptions About Cranial Motor Nuclei (and a New Classification for All Motoneurons, Cranial, and Spinal)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cranial nerves represent a notoriously complex province of the neuroanatomical landscape of the vertebrates. Here, we offer a selection of the anatomic, genetic, and developmental features of their efferent component that are often misrepresented, ignored or controversial, as a complement to more exhaustive treatments of the subject.

Midbrain dopaminergic neuron fate specification: Of mice and embryonic stem cells [PDF]

, 2008
The midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons of the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area play a fundamental role in the control of voluntary movement and the regulation of emotion, and are severely affected in Parkinson's disease.

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Foxa2 and Pet1 Direct and Indirect Synergy Drive Serotonergic Neuronal Differentiation

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Neuronal programming by forced expression of transcription factors (TFs) holds promise for clinical applications of regenerative medicine. However, the mechanisms by which TFs coordinate their activities on the genome and control distinct neuronal fates ...

Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Spatiotemporal Characterization of Anterior Segment Mesenchyme Heterogeneity During Zebrafish Ocular Anterior Segment Development

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Assembly of the ocular anterior segment (AS) is a critical event during development of the vertebrate visual system. Failure in this process leads to anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD), which is characterized by congenital blindness and predisposition to ...

The pyrogenic mediator prostaglandin E2 elicits warmth seeking via EP3 receptor‐expressing parabrachial neurons: a potential mechanism of chills

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 5, Page 2110-2130, 1 March 2026.
Abstract figure legend During infection, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is produced and elicits warmth‐seeking behaviour and involuntary febrile responses by acting on prostaglandin EP3 receptors (EP3Rs) in two distinct brain sites. PGE2 acting on EP3Rs on neurons in the external lateral part of the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBel) augments cold sensory ...

Deletions of the derivative chromosome 9 occur at the time of the Philadelphia translocation and provide a powerful and independent prognostic indicator in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]

, 2001
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

LMX1B‐Regulated Nephrogenesis: A Role for Proteoglycans

The FASEB Journal, 2013
Lmx1b is a transcription factor necessary for kidney development. In humans, haploinsufficiency causes Nail Patella Syndrome frequently with chronic renal failure. In Lmx1b knockout mice, glomerular basement membrane formation is impaired, blocking filtration, urine production and long term survival.
