Formation of the CNS requires the coordination and integration of processes such as cell
proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neuronal migration, axon tract formation and
synaptogenesis, all of which must occur at precise times and places during development.
Although growth factors are known to play a role in regulating many of these processes, very
little is known of the signaling events immediately downstream of ligand–receptor
interactions in the developing CNS. Here we present evidence that STAT5, an important …
