Robo-Slit and Plexin-Semaphorin signaling participate in various developmental and pathogenic processes. During commissural axon guidance in the spinal cord, chemorepulsion by Semaphorin3B and Slits ...

Both the rate and direction of axon growth in the spinal cord can be controlled, according to new research. Both the rate and direction of axon growth in the spinal cord can be controlled, according ...

Calcium arising through release from intracellular stores and from influx across the plasma membrane is essential for signalling by specific guidance cues and by factors that inhibit axon regeneration ...

In the developing nervous system, some neurons must extend their branches to connect one half of the brain with the other. A new study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms that guide the winding ...

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center developmental biologist Cecilia Moens, PhD recently received a prestigious Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award. The new grant will allow Moens to better understand the ...
