... bud precursor cell Fungiform taste papilla β-Catenin Sonic hedgehog (Shh) Glial-like taste cells Cell lineage Cre-lox Tamoxifen The sense of taste is mediated by multicellular taste buds in the oral cavity, which transmit chemical information via sensory nerves to the brain. In mammals...

... and robustly activates transcription within 3 hours of treatment with the drug 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OHT) in tissue culture and transgenic zebrafish. We have generated a broadly expressed inducible ERT2-GAL4 zebrafish line using the ubiquitin ( ubi ) enhancer. In addition, use of ERT2-GAL4 in conjunction...

... previously reported that NG2 cells generate oligodendrocytes in both gray and white matter and a subset of protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter of the ventral forebrain and spinal cord. To investigate the temporal changes in NG2 cell fate, we generated NG2creER™BAC transgenic mice, in which tamoxifen...
