Research project focused on the role of Orb2 protein in neural stem cell division and centrosome dynamics, with relevance to cancer biology.
Description
This project aims to understand how Orb2, a conserved RNA-binding protein, regulates neural stem cell centrosome dynamics and mitotic spindle organization. The study involves translational regulation of centrosome and spindle-associated RNAs, with potential implications for cancer biology.
