U-M RNA scientists identify many genes involved in neuron development

Scienmag

Credit: Nigel Michki Neurons result from a highly complex and unique series of cell divisions. For example, in fruit flies, the process starts with stem cells that divide into mother cells (progenitor cells), that then divide into precursor cells that eventually become neurons.
