Nestin mRNA expression correlates with the central nervous system progenitor cell state in many, but not all, regions of developing central nervous system
J Dahlstrand, M Lardelli, U Lendahl - Developmental Brain Research, 1995 - Elsevier
Nestin is a recently discovered intermediate filament (IF) gene. Nestin expression has been
extensively used as a marker for central nervous system (CNS) progenitor cells in different
contexts, based on observations indicating a correlation between nestin expression and this
cell type in vivo. To evaluate this correlation in more detail nestin mRNA expression in
developing and adult mouse CNS was analysed by in situ hybridization. We find that nestin
is expressed from embryonic day (E) 7.75 and that expression is detected in many …
