At the Crossroads between Cell Polarity and Adhesion in Neocortical Development

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

In this issue of Developmental Cell, Jossin et al. (2017) show that the tumor suppressor protein Lgl1 interacts with N-cadherin to stabilize apical junctions in brain stem cells. Neural progenitors lacking Lgl1 had decreased N-cadherin internalization and abnormal cell junctions, generating an ectopic neuronal layer that resembles cerebral cortex abnormalities in humans.
