Abstract excerpt
Many neurodevelopmental disorders feature learning and memory difficulties. Regulation of neurite outgrowth during development is critical for neural plasticity and memory function. Here, we show a novel regulator of neurite outgrowth during cortical neurogenesis, Lin28, which is an RNA-binding protein. Persistent Lin28 upregulation by in utero electroporation at E14.5 resulted in neurite underdevelopment during...
