High impact information on meis1

Here we report that reducing meis function transforms the caudal hindbrain to an r4-like fate, and we exploit this experimental state to explore how r4 versus r5-r6 segments are set aside [1].

Anatomical context of meis1

In the hindbrain, the absence of either form of PACAP had little effect, as shown by expression of ephA4 and meis1 [2].

Regulatory relationships of meis1

This role in cell cycle control is mediated by meis1 regulating cyclin D1 and c-myc transcription [3].
