Neurons migrating in developing brain cortices sustain DNA double-strand breaks that are repaired by non-homologous end-joining
A Nature study finds that neurons migrating through narrow spaces in the developing cerebral and cerebellar cortices sustain extensive DNA double-stranded breaks from mechanical stress. The damage is repaired without cell death, but impaired repair leads to later motor deficits i…

Study Maps How Organ Signals Shape Intrinsic Nervous Systems
A new analysis shows that neural crest cell migration patterns establish the spatial layout of organ intrinsic nervous systems while local organ cues determine their molecular identities. The research examined development in the heart, pancreas, intestine and lungs.
