Regulating Retinoic Acid Availability during Development and Regeneration: The Role of the CYP26 Enzymes. [PDF]
, 2020 This review focuses on the role of the Cytochrome p450 subfamily 26 (CYP26) retinoic acid (RA) degrading enzymes during development and regeneration. Cyp26 enzymes, along with retinoic acid synthesising enzymes, are absolutely required for RA homeostasis

Dual requirement for Pax6 in retinal progenitor cells [PDF]
Development, 2008 Throughout the developing central nervous system, pre-patterning of the ventricular zone into discrete neural progenitor domains is one of the predominant strategies used to produce neuronal diversity in a spatially coordinated manner. In the retina, neurogenesis proceeds in an intricate chronological and spatial sequence, yet it remains unclear ...

Docosahexaenoic acid promotes photoreceptor differentiation without altering Crx expression [PDF]
, 2006 PURPOSE: The precise molecular cues required for photoreceptor development are still unknown. Pax6 and Crx are essential during early retinal development and for photoreceptor differentiation, respectively.

Molecular Characterization of Human Retinal Progenitor Cells
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009 To examine the molecular profile of fetal human retinal progenitor cells (hRPCs) expanded in vitro and those grown in a co-culture system with mouse retina through the analysis of protein and gene expression and neurotransmitter-stimulated calcium dynamics.hRPCS were isolated from human retina of 14 to 18 weeks gestational age (GA) and expanded in ...

The Many Hats of Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Nervous System Development and Disease. [PDF]
, 2016 Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling occurs concurrently with the many processes that constitute nervous system development. Although Shh is mostly known for its proliferative and morphogenic action through its effects on neural stem cells and progenitors, it ...
