Kiernan ABSTRACT The transcription factor sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is required for the formation of hair cells and supporting cells in the inner ear and is a widely used sensory marker...

...Jens Rister; Claude Desplan; Daniel Vasiliauskas In visual and olfactory sensory systems with high discriminatory power, each sensory neuron typically expresses one, or very few, sensory receptor genes, excluding all others. Recent studies have provided insights into the mechanisms that generate...

...Esther Maier; Jonas von Hofsten; Hanna Nord; Marie Fernandes; Hunki Paek; Jean M. Hébert; Lena Gunhaga The olfactory sensory epithelium and the respiratory epithelium are derived from the olfactory placode. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the differential specification of the sensory...

... is dependent on the type of ganglion: antigens G1, G2 and GLI 1 were not detectable on glial cells of lumbosacral sympathetic ganglia and GLI 2 was expressed only by a small subpopulation. These results demonstrate an early immunological difference between satellite cells of sensory DRG and sympathetic ganglia...
