Project Description
This illustration was created to highlight the findings of a research paper by Dr. Elena Seiradake’s lab: three molecules (Teneurin-Latrophilin-FLRT, foreground) interact between radial glial cells and neurons (green and blue, background) in the developing brain to ensure the neurons migrate correctly. The bright region where the molecules interact is better understood than the darker regions. This illustration was submitted as a journal cover candidate, and used to accompany a Max Planck Institute news article about the publication.
