Bx42 directs neural stem cell exit from quiescence through Prospero

2026-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Microcephaly is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a severely reduced head and brain size in children and is accompanied by a myriad of debilitating side effects including cognitive and developmental impairments. While many cases of microcephaly arise from genetic mutations, the molecular mechanism linking variants to disease remain poorly understood. We previously identified Bx42 as a microcepha...
