Loss of non-canonical KCC2 functions promotes developmental apoptosis of cortical projection neurons.

abstract：:A number of gene silencing phenomena that inactivate genes at the post-transcriptional level have been identified. Due to its potential for studying gene function, post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) has become an intense area of research. In this review we describe the different means of inducing PTGS and disc...
