摘要
Understanding the development and maintenance of dopamine neurons is essential to establish novel stem cell therapies and animal models of Parkinson's disease. A recent PLoS Biology report (Kittappa et al., 2007) reveals that Foxa2 regulates dopamine neuron generation and differentiation, and that aging foxa(2+/-) mice spontaneously develop Parkinsonism.
