Signaling circuit interplay pushes newborn neurons out of the neuronal nest

Jan 07, 2025

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but for developing neurons, this first step relies on collaboration from multiple signaling pathways. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used fluorescent imaging techniques to track the sequence of molecular events that kickstart the migration of developing neurons, implicating an intricate circuit of cues in the process.
