Great work Xuyu!.
Glad to share out latest work in @Dev_Cell today. Combining animal and organoid models, we show that KIF26A plays critical roles in numerous aspects of brain development, and KIF26A loss-of-function mutations cause brain malformations in patients.

Almost half of the identified human accelerated regions of the genome appear to act as neurodevelopment enhancers, researchers say. The findings shed new light on the genetic basis of human evolution.

In an extension of our work on prenatal developmental channelopathies, we now show that an ion pump protein can also serve a critical function in prenatal human brain development. #ATP1A3 #subplate #Corticaldevelopment @PNASNews @HHMI
