Journal ArticleDOI

Directed Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Motor Neurons

TL;DR: It is shown that developmentally relevant signaling factors can induce mouse embryonic stem cells to differentiate into spinal progenitor cells, and subsequently into motor neurons, through a pathway recapitulating that used in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol Modification of Hedgehog Signaling Proteins in Animal Development

TL;DR: It is reported that cholesterol is the lipophilic moiety covalently attached to the amino- terminal signaling domain during autoprocessing and that the carboxyl-terminal domain acts as an intramolecular cholesterol transferase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Floor plate and motor neuron induction by different concentrations of the amino-terminal cleavage product of sonic hedgehog autoproteolysis

TL;DR: The results suggest that the induction of floor plate cells and motor neurons by the notochord in vivo is mediated by exposure of neural plate cells to different concentrations of the amino-terminal product of SHH autoproteolytic cleavage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Teratogen-mediated inhibition of target tissue response to Shh signaling.

TL;DR: Veratrum alkaloids and distal inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis have been studied for more than 30 years as potent teratogens but it is shown that these compounds specifically block the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway.
