Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors have been shown to play an important role in controlling cell type determination and differentiation. TWIST, a member of the bHLH transcription factor family, is involved in the development of mesodermally derived tissue, including the skeleton. We
The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor neuroD is expressed in the rod lineage of the teleost retina

## Abstract Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an essential regulator of endochondral bone formation and an important anabolic agent for the reversal of bone loss. PTH mediates its functions in part by regulating binding of the boneβrelated activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) to the osteoblastβspeci
HES-1 is a vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein Hairy, a transcriptional repressor that negatively regulates neuronal differentiation. HES-1 expression in neuronal precursors precedes and represses the expression of the neuronal commitment gene MASH-1, a bHLH
## Abstract Elucidation of the intricate transcriptional pathways leading to neural differentiation and the establishment of neuronal identity is critical to the understanding and design of therapeutic approaches. Among the important players, the basic helixβloopβhelix (bHLH) transcription factors
