Canonical Hedgehog Signaling Controls Astral Microtubules and Mitotic Spindle Orientation in Neural Progenitors and iPSCs

Fengming Liu, Anna Medyukhina, Kris M. Olesen…·Young-Goo Han

This study shows that Hedgehog signaling regulates mitotic spindle orientation in neural progenitors and iPSCs by affecting astral microtubules and transcriptional regulation of microtubule dynamics.

A kinase-independent function of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 promotes outer radial glia expansion and neocortical folding

Lei Wang, Jun Young Park, Fengming Liu…·Young-Goo Han

This study shows CDK6 promotes oRG expansion and neocortical folding in mice, ferrets, and human cerebral organoids, with its function independent of kinase activity and disrupted by microcephaly-causing mutations.
