Unlocking Secrets of Human Development: How Early Cell Choices Shape the Nervous System

New research from UC San Diego and collaborators reveals hidden insights into the brain development process, showing that certain cells choose their eventual identity much sooner than expected.

Developmental organization of sensory and sympathetic ganglia

The neural crest generates a broad spectrum of cell types that migrate across the body plan to populate multiple tissues; the fate determination of these cells is still not clearly studied, especia...

Developmental organization of sensory and sympathetic ganglia

Nature - Findings suggest that neural crest fate bias predominantly emerges within the neural tube, and that only a minor subset of delaminated progenitors retain multipotency to generate both...

We used mosaic genetic variants as "barcodes" to answer a decades long question in dev bio: whether neural crests have fate specified before leaving the neural tube. Work done in human tissues, mice, and also quails. Findings published today in @Nature. Huge thanks to the team!

Check out our new resource paper @CellStemCell, where we present a brain organoid atlas of human neurodevelopmental disorders. Surprising was that nearly all patients had abnormal organoids. The challenge was aligning defects to clinical. authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2L9…

Check out our new paper in @nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. We report genetic mechanisms of neural tube defects in patients. Spina bifida is also known as meningomyelocele (MM). Prior family-based and association studies found few linked genes, so we took a different approach.
