Reversible block of mouse neural stem cell differentiation in the absence of dicer and microRNAs
BACKGROUND: To investigate the functions of Dicer and microRNAs in neural stem (NS) cell self-renewal and neurogenesis, we established neural stem cell lines from the embryonic mouse Dicer-null cerebral cortex, producing neural stem cell lines that lacked all microRNAs. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Dicer-nu...
