Abstract excerpt
dILA and dILB neurons comprise the major neuronal subtypes generated in the dorsal spinal cord, and arise in a salt-and-pepper pattern from a broad progenitor domain that expresses the bHLH factor Mash1. In this domain, Mash1-positive and Mash1-negative cells intermingle. Using a Mash1(GFP) allele in mice, we show here that Mash1+ progenitors give rise to dILA and dILB neurons. Using retroviral tracing in the...
