Researchers Identify A Molecular Switch That Controls Neuronal Migration In The Developing Brain

Health : Medical News Today (2 years ago)

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators have identified key components of a signaling pathway that controls the departure of neurons from the brain niche where they form and allows these cells to start migrating to their... Read Post

Growing up as a neural stem cell: The importance of clinging together and then letting go

Academics / General Science : Science Codex (last year)

Can one feel too attached? Does one need to let go to mature? Neural stem cells have this problem, too. As immature cells, neural stem cells must stick together in a protected environment called a niche in order to divide so they ca... Read Post
