Mowat-Wilson syndrome factor ZEB2 controls early formation of human neural crest through BMP signaling modulation
26 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Mowat-Wilson syndrome is caused by mutations in ZEB2, with patients exhibiting characteristics indicative of neural crest (NC) defects. We examined the contribution of ZEB2 to human NC formation using a model based on human embryonic stem cells. We found ZEB2 to be one of the earliest factors expressed in prospective human NC, and knockdown revealed a role for ZEB2 in establishing the NC state while repressing...
