Single factors direct the differentiation of stem cells from the fetal and adult central nervous system.

…, MM Dugich-Djordjevic, RD McKay - Genes & …, 1996 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Identifying the signals that regulate stem cell differentiation is fundamental to understanding
cellular diversity in the brain. In this paper we identify factors that act in an instructive fashion …

Efficient generation of midbrain and hindbrain neurons from mouse embryonic stem cells

…, N Lumelsky, L Studer, JM Auerbach, RD McKay - Nature …, 2000 - nature.com
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are clonal cell lines derived from the inner cell mass of the
developing blastocyst that can proliferate extensively in vitro and are capable of adopting all the …

Identification of major cell classes in the developing mammalian nervous system

S Hockfield, RD McKay - Journal of Neuroscience, 1985 - Soc Neuroscience
A major difficulty in studying early developmental processes and testing hypotheses of
possible cellular mechanisms of development has been the inability to reproducibly identify …

Hypoxia promotes expansion of the CD133-positive glioma stem cells through activation of HIF-1α

…, D Lee, A Mintz, A Androutsellis-Theotokis, RD McKay… - Oncogene, 2009 - nature.com
Hypoxia contributes to the progression of a variety of cancers by activating adaptive
transcriptional programs that promote cell survival, motility and tumor angiogenesis. Although the …

Proliferation and differentiation of rat neuroepithelial precursor cells in vivo

K Frederiksen, RD McKay - Journal of Neuroscience, 1988 - Soc Neuroscience
Important features of adult neuronal number, location, and type are a consequence of early
embryonic events that occur before neurons have differentiated. We have measured cell …

Nestin expression in embryonic human neuroepithelium and in human neuroepithelial tumor cells.

Nestin is a recently described member of the intermediate filament (IF) protein family that is
especially abundant in neuroepithelial stem cells of the rat. The studies described here …

A surface antigen expressed by a subset of neurons in the vertebrate central nervous system.

S Hockfield, RD McKay - Proceedings of the National …, 1983 - National Acad Sciences
Many hypotheses for the specificity of connections in the nervous system postulate the
presence of surface chemical differences between neurons. Hybridoma technology offers a …

[HTML][HTML] Epigenomic comparison reveals activation of “seed” enhancers during transition from naive to primed pluripotency

…, A Saiakhova, L Song, JG Chenoweth, RD McKay… - Cell stem cell, 2014 - cell.com
Naive mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and primed epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs)
represent successive snapshots of pluripotency during embryogenesis. Using transcriptomic and …
