Researchers have identified a novel mechanism in the regulation and differentiation of neural stem cells. The study found that the protein receptor Ryk has a key role in the differentiation of neural stem cells, and demonstrated a signaling mechanism that regulates neuronal differentiation as stem cells begin to grow into neurons.
