Research Abstract |
We have elucidated the molecular basis of how neuronal cell fate is determined by an RNA-binding protein, Musashi, using powerful Drosophila genetics. In this project, we have aimed to identify and analyze up/downstream signal components of Musashi-related cell fate determination.
