Embryonic expression of the chicken Sox2, Sox3 and Sox11 genes suggests an interactive role in neuronal development.
Dafe Uwanogho,Maria Rex,Elizabeth J. Cartwright,Gina Pearl,Chris Healy,Paul J. Scotting,Paul T. Sharpe +6 more
TL;DR: Three chicken Sox (SRY-like box) genes have been identified that show an interactive pattern of expression in the developing embryonic nervous system, suggesting that Sox genes play a role in neural development and that the developmental programme from immature to mature neurons may involve switching of Sox gene expression.

Region-Specific Expression of Chicken Sox2 in the Developing Gut and Lung Epithelium: Regulation by Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
TL;DR: In situ analysis of the chicken cSox2 gene, a member of the transcription factor family containing an Sry‐like high‐mobility group (HMG) box, demonstrated localized expression in the embryonic endoderm, suggesting that cSX2 plays pivotal roles in generating morphologically and physiologically distinct types of epithelial cells in the gut.

Preventing the loss of competence for neural induction: HGF/SF, L5 and Sox-2
Andrea Streit,Shanthini Sockanathan,Lidia Pérez,Maria Rex,Paul J. Scotting,Paul T. Sharpe,Robin Lovell-Badge,Claudio D. Stern +7 more
TL;DR: For the first time, this work describes an experiment that can extend the period of neural competence: when L5(220) expression is maintained beyond its normal time by implanting HGF/SF secreting cells, the competence to respond to Hensen's node grafts is retained.

cSox3 expression and neurogenesis in the epibranchial placodes.
Muhammad Abu-Elmagd,Yasuo Ishii,Martin Cheung,Maria Rex,Delphine Le Rouëdec,Paul J. Scotting +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the chick transcription factor, cSox3, is expressed in four lateral patches at the rostral edge of the epibranchial arches and that these mark the epiblancial placodes.

cSox21 exhibits a complex and dynamic pattern of transcription during embryonic development of the chick central nervous system
TL;DR: The expression of cSox21, and other genes (such as Delta, Serrate and Pax genes), may play a part in defining the developmental fate of cells along the dorsoventral axis.
