Abstract excerpt
The dramatic changes in the expression of GD3 and other b-series gangliosides during neuronal development and morphogenesis have led to a widely held belief that these gangliosides may be necessary for neuronal differentiation. To determine directly if GD3 and b-series gangliosides are required for neuronal differentiation, we have produced embryonic stem (ES) cells with both alleles of the GD3 synthase gene...
