Putting a notch in our understanding of nuclear migration.
The nuclei of progenitor cells in developing neural epithelia change their position during the cell cycle through a process called interkinetic nuclear migration. Del Bene et al. (2008) report that defects in the machinery controlling this process lead to altered exposure to Notch signals and systemic effects on neurogenesis in the retina.
