Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse Otx2 functions in the formation and patterning of rostral head.
TL;DR: The homo- and heterozygous mutant phenotypes suggest Otx2 functions as a gap-like gene in the rostral head where Hox code is not present, suggesting its evolutionary significance for the innovation of the neurocranium and the jaw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Otx2 homeobox gene controls retinal photoreceptor cell fate and pineal gland development
Akihiro Nishida,Akiko Furukawa,Akiko Furukawa,Chieko Koike,Yasuo Tano,Shinichi Aizawa,Isao Matsuo,Takahisa Furukawa,Takahisa Furukawa +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the transcription factor Otx2 is essential for retinal photoreceptor cell fate determination and development of the pineal gland and retroviral gene transfer of Otx1 steers retinal progenitor cells toward becoming photoreceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defects of urogenital development in mice lacking Emx2
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in metanephrogenesis, Emx2 is essential for the ureteric bud functions subsequent to Pax-2 induction in the meetanephric mesenchyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experience-dependent transfer of Otx2 homeoprotein into the visual cortex activates postnatal plasticity
Sayaka Sugiyama,Ariel A. Di Nardo,Shinichi Aizawa,Isao Matsuo,Michel Volovitch,Alain Prochiantz,Alain Prochiantz,Takao K. Hensch,Takao K. Hensch,Takao K. Hensch +9 more
TL;DR: The experience-dependent transfer of a homeoprotein may establish the physiological milieu for postnatal plasticity of a neural circuit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emx1 and Emx2 functions in development of dorsal telencephalon
Michio Yoshida,Yoko Suda,Isao Matsuo,Norimasa Miyamoto,Naoki Takeda,Shigeru Kuratani,Shinichi Aizawa +6 more
TL;DR: Phenotypes of newborn brains also suggest that these genes function in neurogenesis corresponding to their later expressions, and Emx2 most likely delineates the palliochoroidal boundary in the absence of Emx1 expression during early dorsal forebrain patterning.
