Key Mechanism That Regulates Development Of Stem Cells Into Neurons Identified

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 09:36 in Biology & Nature

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.
