Mutation of Kinesin-6 Kif20b causes defects in cortical neuron polarization and morphogenesis
Abstract Background How neurons change their cytoskeleton to adopt their complex polarized morphology is still not understood. Growing evidence suggests that proteins that help build microtubule structures during cell division are also involved in building and remodeling the complex cytoskeletons of...
