Feedback regulation in multistage cell lineages by Wing-Cheong Lo, Ching-Shan Chou, Kimberly K. Gokoffski, Frederic Y.-M. Wan, Arthur D. Lander, Anne L. Calof, Qing Nie

“…Together, the existence of multiple cellstages within a lineage and complex feedback regulation are thought to conferupon a tissue the ability to autoregulate development and regeneration,in terms of both cell number (total tissue volume) and cell identity(the proportions of different cell types, especially TD cells, within the tissue).In this paper, we model neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium (OE) of the mouse,a system in which the lineage stages and mediators of feedback regulation that governthe generation of terminally differentiated olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) have beenthe subject of much experimental work. …”
