Abstract excerpt
The paired type homeobox 6 (Pax6) transcription factor (TF) regulates multiple aspects of neural stem cell (NSC) and neuron development in the embryonic central nervous system. However, less is known about the role of Pax6 in the maintenance and differentiation of adult NSCs and in adult neurogenesis. Using the +/Sey(Dey) mouse, we have analyzed how Pax6 heterozygosis influences the self-renewal and proliferation...
