[New article available] First Author Interview: Dr Naotaka Nakazawa

Squeezing Through: Nuclear Migration Strategies in the Developing Brain

A new article has been added to the “First Author Interview”. The new interview is with Dr Naotaka Nakazawa, a Lecturer at Department of Energy and Materials, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kindai University.

In the series, we invite the first authors of a recently published manuscript for a letter-based interview on their work. In particular, we ask the author to tell us the behind-the-scenes story of their manuscript, as experienced personally by the author but not communicated directly in the manuscript.

Dr Nakazawa, currently affiliated with Kindai University, works on mechanisms of mechano-sensing and response in neurons and cancer cells. His latest research reveals that migrating neurons switch between different modes of movement depending on the three-dimensional size of the space surrounding them during brain development.
