vision/eye
• not detected at E14.5
|
• at E11.5 and E14.5 expression analysis indicates that proximo-ventral cells in the presumptive retinal pigment epithelium possess neural retinal identity
• however, nasal-dorsal cells retain their retinal pigment epithelium identity
|
• at E11.5 expression analysis indicates that progenitor cells in the distal ventral optic stalk gain a neural retinal identity
• at E14.5 a neural retina like structure connects directly with the diencephalon
• at E14.5 expression analysis indicates that proximo-ventral cells in the presumptive retinal pigment epithelium possess neural retinal identity
|
• at E10.5 the optic stalk resembles the early (E9.5) optic vesicle
• at E12.5 and E14.5 the optic stalk is open ventrally
• the ventral optic stalk is not detected by morphology at E14.5
• however, expression analysis indicates optic stalk identity is maintained but that the boundary between the stalk and neural retina is shifted proximally
• expression analysis indicates that differentiation of dorsal optic stalk cells is impaired
|
• seen at E14.5 and persists through birth
