Research Abstract |
We examined the roles of Runx1 and Runx3 transcription factors in the neural development. We showed (1) Runx1 promotes the neuronal differentiation of dorsal root ganglion cells, (2) Runx3 regulates the subtype specification and axonal projection of mechanoreceptive sensory neurons in the trigeminal ganglion, and (3) Runx1 is involved in the axonal projection and synapse formation of the hypoglossal motoneurons.
