Periventricular Heterotopia: Shuttling of Proteins through Vesicles and Actin in Cortical Development and Disease
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
During cortical development, proliferating neural progenitors exhibit polarized apical and basolateral membranes that are maintained by tightly controlled and membrane-specific vesicular trafficking pathways. Disruption of polarity through impaired delivery of proteins can alter cell fate decisions and consequent expansion of the progenitor pool, as well as impact the integrity of the neuroependymal lining. Loss...
