UNC School of Medicine researchers pinpoint signaling problems in the progenitor cells crucial for proper neuron generation and organization. They have shown how the deletion of the protein APC in progenitor cells leads to massive disruption of brain development and the canonical Wnt protein pathway – a signaling cascade– that previously was linked to genes associated with autism.
