The use of mouse gene targeting to study molecules important in neural development is oftentimes impaired by early embryonic lethality. In order to address later roles for such molecules, specifically in neural stem cells, we generated transgenic mice that express both the tetracycline-inducible mol

## Abstract Discovery and characterization of gene promoters, enhancers and repressor binding elements is an important research area in neuroscience. Here, the suitability of embryonic stem cells and their neural derivatives as a model system for this research is investigated. Three neural transgen
## Abstract Differentiation and selfβrenewal are two primary properties that characterize stem cells. Differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs) gives rise to multiple neural lineages, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Selfβrenewal, by definition, signifies the progre
## Abstract Oxygen (O~2~) is a substrate for energy production in the cell and is a rapid regulator of cellular metabolism. Recent studies have also implicated O~2~ and its signal transduction pathways in controlling cell proliferation, fate, and morphogenesis during the development of many tissues
## Abstract Recent studies suggest that adult neurogenesis can contribute significantly to recovery from brain damage. As a result, there is strong interest in the field in identifying potentially therapeutic factors capable of promoting increased expansion of endogenous neural stem cell (NSC) popu
