    The role of adducins in the development of the cerebral cortex

    Human Technopole researchers show that adducin proteins regulate morphology, proliferation, and fate of neural progenitor cells, sustaining the expansion of the mammalian neocortex. The findings, which offer fresh insights into the molecular logic behind neurogenesis, are published in Cell Reports.

Research at HT

Improving human life and technology by investing in human health and prevention research is the ultimate goal of Human Technopole. We need to prevent and cure diseases to allow people of all ages to not only live longer, but also live better.

To accomplish its mission, HT’s research strives to unravel fundamental mechanisms relevant to human physiology and disease using a multi-scale systems biology approach, based on a combination of experimental research and theory, coupled with computational biology and Artificial Intelligence.
