Objective The offspring of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have a high
predisposition to developing type 2 diabetes during childhood and adulthood. The aim of the …

Mitochondrial metabolism is a fundamental process in tissue development. How this process
play functions in embryonic neurogenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we show that …

Background: Thyroid hormone is critical for normal brain development and acts in a spatial
and temporal specific pattern. Thyroid hormone excess, or deficiency, can lead to …

Offspring of mothers with hyperglycemia during pregnancy have a higher incidence of long-
term neuropsychiatric disorders than offspring from a normal pregnancy, indicating that …

Successful development of antiobesity agents requires detailed knowledge of neural
pathways controlling body weight, eating behavior, and peripheral metabolism. Genetic …

Neuroepithelial attachments at adherens junctions are essential for the self-renewal of
neural stem and progenitor cells and the polarized organization of the developing central …

The evolutionarily conserved FOXO family of transcription factors has emerged as a
significant arbiter of neural cell fate and function in mammals. From the neural stem cell …

The specification of neuronal subtypes in the cerebral cortex proceeds in a temporal
manner; however, the regulation of the transitions between the sequentially generated …

The neural crest is a migratory cell population that gives rise to multiple cell types in the
vertebrate embryo. The intrinsic determinants that segregate neural crest cells from …

The transcription factor Foxg1 is known to be continuously expressed at a high level in
mature neurons in the telencephalon, but little is known about its role in neural plasticity …
