Early nervous system development in the chaetognath Spadella cephaloptera exhibits conserved bilaterian patterning features [PDF]
Nervous systems display extensive diversity in structure and organization, yet a broadly conserved set of signaling pathway components and transcription factors is consistently associated with early neurogenesis in many animal lineages.

The Charcot–Marie–Tooth Neuropathy (CMTX3) Complex Structural Variation Causes Differential SOX3 Spatiotemporal Expression [PDF]
Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) neuropathy is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the length‐dependent axonal degeneration of peripheral nerves. We previously mapped a rare form of X‐linked CMT, CMTX3, to a 5.7‐Mb interval on chromosome Xq26.3‐q27.1 and excluded the coding region of all known genes in the linkage ...

Generation of Chimera-Competent Avian iPSCs Using Defined Transcription Factors [PDF]
iPSC technology is well established in mammals but remains underdeveloped in non-mammalian species. A major barrier to generating avian iPSCs has been the lack of species-specific reprogramming factors and culture conditions capable of supporting self ...

Transcriptome Analysis Suggested Striking Transition Around the End of Epiboly in the Gene Regulatory Network Downstream of the Oct4‐Type POU Gene in Zebrafish Embryos [PDF]
Transcriptome analysis of pou5f3‐regulated genes in zebrafish embryos showed that competence to pou5f3 regulation changes significantly before and after the end of epiboly. The target genes encoded a diverse array of proteins, including transcriptional regulators and signaling molecules.

In Silico Identification of SOX1 Post-Translational Modifications Highlights a Shared Protein Motif
The transcription factor SOX1 is a key regulator of neural stem cell development, acting to keep neural stem cells (NSCs) in an undifferentiated state. Postnatal expression of Sox1 is typically confined to the central nervous system (CNS), however, its ...

Abstract The Sry‐related high mobility group box (Sox) genes family is a group of transcription factors playing crucial roles during reproduction and development. At least 50% amino acid sequences of Sox protein family are similarity to the sex‐determining region on the Y chromosome (Sry).

Development and maintenance of organs requires context‐specific regulation of stem cell activities. We hypothesize that these are dependent upon reciprocal interactions between the cell‐cycle machinery and regulators of stem cell differentiation. To support this, we discuss the mechanistic links between these processes, as well as their parallel ...

A cellular and molecular analysis of SoxB-driven neurogenesis in a cnidarian
Neurogenesis is the generation of neurons from stem cells, a process that is regulated by SoxB transcription factors (TFs) in many animals. Although the roles of these TFs are well understood in bilaterians, how their neural function evolved is unclear ...

Expression analysis of SOX14 during retinoic acid induced neural differentiation of embryonal carcinoma cells and assessment of the effect of its ectopic expression on SOXB members in HeLa cells. [PDF]
SOX14 is a member of the SOXB2 subgroup of transcription factors implicated in neural development. Although the first SOX14 gene in vertebrates was cloned and characterized more than a decade ago and its expression profile during development was revealed
