Abstract excerpt
The ability of neuroepithelial cells to generate a diverse array of neurons is influenced by locally secreted signals. In the spinal cord, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is known to induce distinct cell fates in a concentration-dependent manner by regulating the activities of the three Gli transcription factors in neural precursors. However, whether Gli-mediated Shh signaling is also required to induce different cell types...
