Popis: Post-translational modifications of histone proteins regulate a long cascade of downstream cellular activities, including transcription and replication. Cellular lineage differentiation involves large-scale intracellular signaling and extracellular context. In particular, histone modifications play instructive and programmatic roles in central nervous system development. Deciphering functions of histone could offer feasible molecular strategies for neural diseases caused by histone modifications. Here, we review recent advances of in vitro and in vivo studies on histone modifications in neural differentiation.
