A Dynamin-3 Spliced Variant Modulates the Actin/Cortactin-Dependent Morphogenesis of Dendritic Spines [PDF]
Immature dendrites extend many actin-rich filopodial structures that can be replaced by synapse-containing dendritic spines as the neuron matures. The large GTPase dynamin-3 (Dyn3) is a component of the postsynapse in hippocampal neurons but its function

Arp2/3 complex activity in filopodia of spreading cells [PDF]
Background Cells use filopodia to explore their environment and to form new adhesion contacts for motility and spreading. The Arp2/3 complex has been implicated in lamellipodial actin assembly as a major nucleator of new actin filaments in branched ...

Novel roles of formin mDia2 in lamellipodia and filopodia formation in motile cells. [PDF]
Actin polymerization-driven protrusion of the leading edge is a key element of cell motility. The important actin nucleators formins and the Arp2/3 complex are believed to have nonoverlapping functions in inducing actin filament bundles in filopodia and ...

Gintonin stimulates dendritic growth in striatal neurons by activating Akt and CREB
Gintonin, a glycolipid protein conjugated with lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), is a newly identified compound extracted from Korean ginseng. LPA receptor isotypes exhibit high affinity for gintonin and mediate intracellular calcium signaling in various ...

Light-induced engagement of microglia to focally remodel synapses in the adult brain
Microglia continuously monitor synapses, but active synaptic remodeling by microglia in mature healthy brains is rarely directly observed. We performed targeted photoablation of single synapses in mature transgenic mice expressing fluorescent labels in ...
