Matrin-3 Levels Determine whether a Neural Stem Cell Remains a Stem Cell or Differentiates into a Ne

Caption

(A) A deficiency in Matrin-3 causes neural stem cells to elongate and differentiate into neurons. (B) High expression of Matrin-3, and increased phosphorylation maintains immature neural stem cells.
