Sox4 facilitates differentiation of lymphocytes, osteoblasts, pancreatic beta cells and along with Sox11 promotes neural differentiation.
The cells of the primitive node secrete many cellular signals essential for neural differentiation.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) suppress neural differentiation and promote epithelial growth.
Studies in zebrafish retina showed that inhibiting neural differentiation of early retinal progenitors prevents axons from exiting the eye.
BMP4 also limits the extent to which neural differentiation in xenopus embryos occurs by inducing epidermis.
The only variant that remained constant in the neural differentiation was variant H2AZ.
Notch signaling promotes proliferative signaling during neurogenesis and its activity is inhibited by Numb to promote neural differentiation.
A complete understanding of the mechanisms for neural differentiation and proliferation could prove to be crucial to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
The left hippocampus and posterior visuospatial regions are involved in past and future event construction, neural differentiation.
Wnt1 has also been shown to antagonize neural differentiation and is a major factor in self-renewal of neural stem cells.
