Growth Factors as Axon Guidance Molecules: Lessons From in vitro Studies
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Growth cones at the tips of extending axons navigate through developing organisms by probing extracellular cues, which guide them through intermediate steps and onto final synaptic target sites.

An Emerging Role of PRRT2 in Regulating Growth Cone Morphology
Cells, 2021 Mutations in the PRRT2 gene are the main cause for a group of paroxysmal neurological diseases including paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, episodic ataxia, benign familial infantile seizures, and hemiplegic migraine. In the mature central nervous system,

Coactosin Promotes F-Actin Protrusion in Growth Cones Under Cofilin-Related Signaling Pathway
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 During brain development, axon outgrowth and its subsequent pathfinding are reliant on a highly motile growth cone located at the tip of the axon. Actin polymerization that is regulated by actin-depolymerizing factors homology (ADF-H) domain-containing ...

Functional Redundancy of Cyclase-Associated Proteins CAP1 and CAP2 in Differentiating Neurons
Cells, 2021 Cyclase-associated proteins (CAPs) are evolutionary-conserved actin-binding proteins with crucial functions in regulating actin dynamics, the spatiotemporally controlled assembly and disassembly of actin filaments (F-actin).

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Introduction: UNC-6/Netrin is a conserved bi-functional guidance cue which regulates dorsal-ventral axon guidance in C. elegans. In the Polarity/Protrusion model of UNC-6/Netrin mediated dorsal growth away from UNC-6/Netrin, The UNC-5 receptor first ...

An Integrated Cytoskeletal Model of Neurite Outgrowth
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Neurite outgrowth underlies the wiring of the nervous system during development and regeneration. Despite a significant body of research, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanics of growth and guidance are not fully understood, and the relative ...
