This study investigates the role of Sonic Hedgehog signaling in retinal development, revealing new functions in optic nerve head identity, nasal-temporal polarity, and coordination of neurogenesis.

This study shows let-7 microRNA regulates both neuronal fate and migration in the neocortex through distinct pathways involving RBX2 and CRL5.

This study investigates how mitochondrial dysfunction and immune activation contribute to retinal ganglion cell degeneration in optic neuropathy using transgenic models.

This study shows that Afadin is essential for sorting retinal neuron types into correct cellular layers, but not for their survival or synaptic partner selection.

The paper identifies a proliferative region in the fetal human retina that continues to generate neurons late in development, similar to the non-mammalian ciliary marginal zone.

This study identifies OPTN's role in axonal mitochondria transport and shows its loss contributes to neurodegeneration in models of ALS and NTG.

This study shows Notch signaling regulates miRNA levels to control neuron fate determination and telencephalic development.

This study identifies CRL5 as a regulator of hippocampal development by controlling Arl4c and Arf6, which are essential for pyramidal neuron migration and dendritogenesis.
