Shootin1b Mediates a Mechanical Clutch to Produce Force for Neuronal Migration

Summary: As an essential step for brain morphogenesis, neurons migrate via mechanical interactions with components of their environment such as neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix. However, the molecular mechanism by which neurons exert forces on their environment during migration remains...
