UCLA Studies Identify Metabolic and Physical Signals Guiding Brain Development
Two UCLA studies report that radial glia, stem cells involved in building the human cerebral cortex, respond to both glucose-processing pathways and physical contact from thalamic projections. The findings, based on donated tissue, brain organoids and stem-cell-derived assembloids, offer new clues about how early developmental signals influence neuron production.
