Researchers discover new protein involved in neuron formation

[caption id="attachment_5325" align="alignright" width="246"] The image shows a dyed cultured neuron with antibodies that tag microtubules. NEK7 boosts the stability of dendrite microtubules, important for the proper growth and branching of dendrites. (F. Freixo, IRB Barcelona).[/caption] NEK7 protein regulates the formation of neurons, since it is...
