Learn moreCDK6: A well-known kinase commits a new ‘crime’ connecting outer radial glia to microcephaly
| Sep 27, 2022Microcephaly is a rare neurodevelopmental condition in which a baby’s head is much smaller than expected because the brain did not develop properly or stopped developing during pregnancy. St. Jude researchers identified cells in the outer radial glia in the developing brain that play an important role in microcephaly.
