Genetic scientists have spliced human DNA into mice, resulting in rodents with increased brain mass, offering new clues to ...

A new study shows that inserting human DNA into mice grow bigger brains, offering clues to human brain evolution.

In mice, at about embryonic day (E) 8.5, these cells begin to take on the characteristics of radial glia. During the ensuing phase of neurogenesis, the radial glial cells divide asymmetrically to ...

Radial glia in the ventricular zone (VZ) of the developing cortex divide asymmetrically, producing a self-renewing radial glial cell that remains in the VZ and a cell that differentiates into a ...

Using conditional mutagenesis we have determined that integrins, dystroglycan and RhoGTPAses are required for radial sorting because they induce cytoskeletal rearrangements that allow the generation ...
