This study shows that COG5 deficiency disrupts Golgi organization and affects neural progenitor fate during human brain development through altered trafficking and glycosylation.

This study shows human astrocytes delay neuronal maturation compared to chimpanzee astrocytes, linking astrocyte evolution to brain neoteny and disease vulnerability.

This study compares human and chimpanzee neurons to show that human neurons have altered lipid metabolism and trafficking, contributing to delayed synaptic maturation during brain development.
