16
Q

Technique to detect FGF10

A

anti-sense in situ hybridisation

17
Q

Double in situ showed

A

population co-expresses shh, BMP7 & FGF & pathway components

18
Q

Why is co-expression of Shh, BMP & FGF unusual

A

TFs normally repress each others transcription

19
Q

Fate mapping of Shh, FGF10 & BMP7 positive cells showed

A

form hypothalamus

20
Q

Fate mapping technique

A

inject lipophilic dye DiL, double label expression of TF

21
Q

hypothalamic development model

A

sequential ansiotropic growth model

22
Q

What do FGF10, shh & BMP positive progenitors give rise to ?

A

anterior hypothalamic and posterior hypothalamic progenitors

23
Q

Movement of proliferating cells from FGF10, shh, BMP positive cells

A

anteriorly & posteriorly away - tangential movement

24
Q

what cells are retained?

A

central pool of FGF10+ positive progenitors

25
Q

Arc& VMN arose from ?

A

Shh responding progentiors

26
Q

TMN arose from ?

A

progenitors migrating in opposite direction ???? * CHECK

27
Q

FGF10+ population gives rise to ?

A

basal anterior & mammillary progenitors

28
Q

Progentiors patterned by shh –>

A

neurons that regulate sleep wake cycle

29
Q

FGF10+ hypothalamic cells

A

radial glial like cells - tanycytes

30
Q

beta tanycytes project to ?

A

median eminence

31
Q

alpha tanycytes

A

hypothalamic stem cells

32
Q

beta tanycyte function

A

allow metabolite & hormone entry into hypothalamus

33
Q

Tanycyte function - SC

A

neurogenesis - allostasis

allow body to adapt to new optimums
