Journal ArticleDOI

An Orphan Nuclear Receptor Activated by Pregnanes Defines a Novel Steroid Signaling Pathway

TL;DR: The results provide evidence for the existence of a novel steroid hormone signaling pathway with potential implications in the regulation of steroid hormone and sterol homeostasis and the expression of the CYP3A family of steroid hydroxylases and modulates sterol and bile acid biosynthesis in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Docosahexaenoic Acid, a Ligand for the Retinoid X Receptor in Mouse Brain

TL;DR: DHA, a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that is highly enriched in the adult mammalian brain, is identified as a factor in brain tissue from adult mice that activates RXR in cell-based assays, suggesting that DHA may influence neural function through activation of an RXR signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Intrinsic Determinants of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons

TL;DR: It is shown that the homeodomain proteins Lmx1a and Msx1 function as determinants of midbrain dopamine neurons, cells that degenerate in patients with Parkinson's disease, and suggest that they may be essential tools in cell replacement strategies in Parkinson’s disease.
