Abstract

Abstract : How are different neural cell types generated from progenitor cells? In 1990, Turner et al . used new lineage tracing techniques to show that different cells in the mammalian retina share their progenitor origin. The findings established a key step toward our understanding of how multipotent progenitor cells give rise to complex circuitry in the retina.
