Developmental biology of olfactory sensory neurons

摘要: Proliferation, differentiation and death of olfactory neurons occur continually, even in adult animals. New data suggest that growth factors regulate the rate cell proliferation. Early axons embryonic development is accompanied by migration epithelial cells from placode toward presumptive bulb.
