Maintenance of Olfactory Neurogenesis Requires HSF1, a Major Heat Shock Transcription Factor in Mice

Abstract excerpt

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play roles not only in heat shock response but also in development of the reproductive organs, brain, and lens. Here, we analyzed sensory organs and found abnormalities of the olfactory epithelium in adult HSF1-null mice, which is developmentally related to the lens. The olfactory epithelium was normal until postnatal 3 weeks but was not maintained later than 4 weeks in...
