| Research Abstract |
Although the Ror-family of receptor tyrosine kinases, Ror2, and its ligand Wnt5a are expressed in the developing brain, little is known about their roles in the neural development. We show that Ror2 and Wnt5a are highly expressed in neocortical neural progenitor cells(NPCs) and that Wnt5a. Ror2 signaling plays essential role in maintaining neurogenic NPCs during neurogenesis of the developing neocortex.
