Characterization of spontaneous calcium transients in nerve growth cones and their effect on growth cone migration

open access: yesNeuron, 1995
This study examines the mechanisms of spontaneous and induced [Ca2+]i spiking in nerve growth cones and the effect of spikes on growth cone migration. Over a 10-20 min observation period, 29% of DRG growth cones undergo spontaneous and transient elevations in physiological extracellular Ca2+ ((Ca2+)o; 2 mM), whereas 67% of growth cones exposed to 20 mM

Syntaxin 1B Suppresses Macropinocytosis and Semaphorin 3A-Induced Growth Cone Collapse

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2011
Growth cone collapse is a crucial process for repulsive axon guidance and is accompanied by a reduction in growth cone surface area. This process of reduction may be regulated by endocytosis; however, its molecular mechanism is unclear.

New Light on Growth Cone Navigation [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2015
Growth cones on neuronal process navigate over long distances to their targets in the developing nervous system. New work by Menon et al., 2015 in the current issue of Developmental Cell reveals that reversible ubiquitination of the actin filament polymerase called VASP is part of the guidance system.

Role of the growth cone in neuronal differentiation

open access: yesMolecular Neurobiology, 1989
Nerve growth cones are motile, exploring organelles at the tip of a growing neurite. The growth cone is a highly specialized structure, equipped with a complex machinery for reversible membrane expansion and rapid cytoskeletal reorganization, a machinery required for growth cone motility and neurite elongation.

Two-loop contribution to the pion transition form factor vs. experimental data

open access: yes, 2009
We present predictions for the pion-photon transition form factor, derived with the help of light-cone sum rules and including the main part of the NNLO radiative corrections.

Efficient simulations of tubulin-driven axonal growth

open access: yes, 2016
This work concerns efficient and reliable numerical simulations of the dynamic behaviour of a moving-boundary model for tubulin-driven axonal growth. The model is nonlinear and consists of a coupled set of a partial differential equation (PDE) and two ...

Micropropagation of a recalcitrant pine (Pinus pinea L.): An overview of the effects of ectomycorrhizal inoculation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is an economically important forest species in some regions of Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain have nearly 500,000 ha of stone pine stands, representing 85% of worldwide distribution.

Income distribution in the Latin American Southern Cone during the first globalization boom, ca: 1870-1920 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Latin America is the most unequal region in the world and there is a lively debate concerning the explanations and timing of such high levels of income inequality.

The growth cone gets a grip

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2001
![][1] Restrained beads light up migrating cells. Like a rock climber, a neuronal growth cone senses its substrate to identify the route that will provide the best grip. For the growth cone, this involves probing with adhesion molecules that direct cytoskeletal reorganization ...
