The developmental regulation of the a-fetoprotein (AFP) gene in liver results in high-level expression in the fetus, followed by dramatic transcriptional repression after birth. We have examined the mouse AFP gene for transcriptional control sequences that may be involved in its postnatal repression

There is significant overlap in the genes and pathways that control liver development and those that regulate liver regeneration, hepatic progenitor cell expansion, response to injury, and cancer. Additionally, defects in liver development may underlie some congenital and perinatal liver diseases. T
Using a novel suspension culture approach, previously undescribed populations of neural precursor cells have been isolated from the adult mouse brain. Recent studies have shown that neuronal and glial precursor cells proliferate within the subependymal zone of the lateral ventricle throughout life,
## Gene expression in hepatocytes within the liver lobule is differentially regulated along the portal to central axis; however, the mechanisms governing the processes of zonation within the lobule are unknown. A model for zonal heterogeneity in normal liver is proposed, based on observations of d
