The study, published by the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, looks at the mechanical signals and traction forces involved in the migration of Cajal-Retzius cells, a group of neurons with an important role in the development of the cerebral cortex.
A poor function or migration of Cajal-Retzius cells can lead to lissencephaly, a disease manifested by the absence of folds in the cerebral cortex, with a life expectancy of only a few years.
