A key mechanism regulating neural stem cell development is uncovered

A research team at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montreal (IRCM), funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness - Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), discovered a novel mechanism that regulates how neural stem cells of the retina generate the appropriate cell type at the right time during normal development. These findings, published today in the renowned journal Neuron, could influence the development of future cell replacement therapies for genetic eye diseases that cause blindness.
