The visual system is beautifully crafted to transmit information of the external world to visual
processing and cognitive centers in the brain. For visual information to be relayed to the …

The emergence of functional neuronal connectivity in the developing cerebral cortex
depends on neuronal migration. This process enables appropriate positioning of neurons …

Withdrawal of differentiating cells from proliferative tissue is critical for embryonic
development and adult tissue homeostasis; however, the mechanisms that control this cell …

The outer subventricular zone (OSVZ) is a germinal layer playing key roles in the
development of the neocortex, with particular relevance in gyrencephalic species such as …

Neurogenesis relies on a delicate balance between progenitor maintenance and neuronal
production. Progenitors divide symmetrically to increase the pool of dividing cells …

This review addresses our current understanding of the regulatory mechanism by which N-
cadherin, a classical cadherin, affects neural progenitor cells (NPCs) during development. N …

Radial glia cells play fundamental roles in the development of the cerebral cortex, acting
both as the primary stem and progenitor cells, as well as the guides for neuronal migration …

Hearing loss is most commonly caused by the destruction of mechanosensory hair cells in
the ear. This condition is usually permanent: Despite the presence of putative hair-cell …

Pseudostratified epithelia are widespread during animal development and feature
elongated cells whose nuclei adopt various positions along the apicobasal cell axis. Before …

Visual information is conveyed from the eye to the brain by distinct types of retinal ganglion
cells (RGCs). It is largely unknown how RGCs acquire their defining morphological and …
