Microfluidic control of axonal guidance [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 The precision of axonal pathfinding and the accurate formation of functional neural circuitry are crucial for an organism during development as well as during adult central and peripheral nerve regeneration. While chemical cues are believed to be primarily responsible for axonal pathfinding, we hypothesize that forces due to localized fluid flow may ...

Independent signaling by Drosophila insulin receptor for axon guidance and growth
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 The Drosophila insulin receptor (DInR) regulates a diverse array of biological processes including growth, axon guidance, and sugar homeostasis. Growth regulation by DInR is mediated by Chico, the Drosophila homolog of vertebrate insulin-receptor ...

Guidance of retinal axons in mammals
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2019 In order to navigate through the surrounding environment many mammals, including humans, primarily rely on vision. The eye, composed of the choroid, sclera, retinal pigmented epithelium, cornea, lens, iris and retina, is the structure that receives the light and converts it into electrical impulses.

Where does axon guidance lead us? [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2017 During neural circuit formation, axons need to navigate to their target cells in a complex, constantly changing environment. Although we most likely have identified most axon guidance cues and their receptors, we still cannot explain the molecular ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans Eph receptor activates NCK and N-WASP, and inhibits Ena/VASP to regulate growth cone dynamics during axon guidance. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The Eph receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are regulators of cell migration and axon guidance. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which Eph RTKs regulate these processes is still incomplete.

The Role of Apoptotic Signaling in Axon Guidance
Journal of Developmental Biology, 2018 Navigating growth cones are exposed to multiple signals simultaneously and have to integrate competing cues into a coherent navigational response. Integration of guidance cues is traditionally thought to occur at the level of cytoskeletal dynamics ...

Translating Axon Guidance Cues [PDF]
Cell, 2002 Recent studies suggest that local translation of mRNA within axons plays a key role in two aspects of growth cone navigation. One line of evidence implies a local synthesis of proteins that mediate growth cone collapse and turning in response to guidance cues; another indicates that growth cones possess the machinery that would allow the local ...

Guidance Molecules in Axon Regeneration [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 The regenerative capacity of injured adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) tissue is very limited. Disease or injury that causes destruction or damage to neuronal networks typically results in permanent neurological deficits. Injury to the spinal cord, for example, interrupts vital ascending and descending fiber tracts of spinally projecting ...

Structural Perspectives on Axon Guidance
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 Axon guidance relies on a combinatorial code of receptor and ligand interactions that direct adhesive/attractive and repulsive cellular responses. Recent structural data have revealed many of the molecular mechanisms that govern these interactions and enabled the design of sophisticated mutant tools to dissect their biological functions.
