This study shows Etv5 is not needed for Schwann cell development but is essential for regulating their response to peripheral nerve injury.

The paper identifies NEUROG2's role in regulating a human-specific gene regulatory program in neural progenitor cells through transcriptomic analysis of knock-in organoids.

This study shows Pten and Dscam regulate amacrine cell spacing through endocytic trafficking of cell adhesion and signaling molecules, with altered extracellular vesicles and Wnt signaling in Pten mutants.

The paper identifies a proneural gene combinatorial code that diversifies neocortical neural progenitor cells through gene regulatory networks and cell fate decisions.

The paper shows Neurog2 and Ascl1 genes regulate cortical progenitor differentiation and folding through Notch signaling in lissencephalic brains.
