How stem cells become neurons
Histone proteins are found in the nucleus of biological cells. They control which genes are active in cells and can be chemically modified in a variety of ways. Researchers have now provided an overview of how these modifications influence the development of stem cells into neurons and other brain cells. This could pave the way for new therapies against brain development disorders.
