A major challenge in the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases, with transplantation replacement photoreceptors, is difficulty inducing grafted cells to grow and maintain light sensitive outer segments host retina, which depends on proper interaction underlying pigment epithelium (RPE). Here, for an RPE-independent approach, we introduce a hyperpolarizing microbial opsin into photoreceptor precursors from newborn mice, transplant them blind mice lacking layer. These...
Abstract The human neocortex has undergone strong evolutionary expansion, largely due to an increased progenitor population, the basal radial glial cells. These cells are responsible for production of a diversity cell types, but successive fate decisions taken by individual progenitors remain unknown. Here we developed semi-automated live/fixed correlative imaging method map division modes in early fetal tissue and cerebral organoids. Through live analysis hundreds dividing progenitors, show...
Abstract Radial glial (RG) cells are the neural stem of developing neocortex. Apical RG (aRG) can delaminate to generate basal (bRG) cells, a cell type associated with human brain expansion. Here, we report that aRG delamination is regulated by post‐Golgi secretory pathway. Using in situ subcellular live imaging, show transport RAB6+ vesicles occurs toward minus ends microtubules and depends on dynein. We demonstrate apical determinant Crumbs3 (CRB3) also transported Double knockout RAB6A/A'...
Primary microcephaly and megalencephaly are severe brain malformations defined by reduced increased size, respectively. Whether these two pathologies arise from related alterations at the molecular level is unclear. Microcephaly has been largely associated with centrosomal defects, leading to cell death. Here, we investigate consequences of WDR81 loss function, which causes in patients. We show that regulates endosomal trafficking EGFR function leads MAP kinase pathway activation. Mouse...

A major challenge in the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases, with transplantation replacement photoreceptors, is difficulty inducing grafted cells to grow and maintain light sensitive outer segments (OS) host retina, which depends on proper interaction underlying pigment epithelium (RPE). For a RPE-independent approach, we introduced hyperpolarizing microbial opsin into photoreceptor precursors from new-born mice, transplanted them blind mice lacking layer. These optogenetically...
