Growth cone motility

Current Biology, 1992
Neurons obtain their stereotyped morphologies and connections as a result of growth cone migration. In the past year, studies on growth cone migration and pathfinding have helped to define certain properties of cytoskeletal filaments and cell membranes that may be important in growth cone function.

Nerve growth cone motility

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1990
Although many issues remain unresolved, the past year has witnessed a number of advances in our understanding of the inter-relationships between extracellular influences, cell phenotype, growth associated proteins, second messengers, and cytoskeletal components in the control of neurite outgrowth and growth cone behavior.

Looking into growth cones

Trends in Neurosciences, 1989
The growth cone is a crucial structure in effecting neurite elongation and guiding the neurite onto correct pathways by responding to environmental cues. Recently developed techniques in light and electron microscopy have greatly improved our understanding of the dynamic organization of membrane and cytoskeleton within the growth cone.

Growth Cone Collapse Assay

2013
Growth cone collapse is an easy and efficient test for detecting and characterizing axon guidance activities secreted or expressed by cells. It can also be used to dissect signaling pathways by axon growth inhibitors and to isolate therapeutic compounds that promote axon regeneration.

Growth Cone Collapse Assay

2014
The growth cone collapse assay has proved invaluable in detecting and purifying axonal repellents. Glycoproteins/proteins present in detergent extracts of biological tissues are incorporated into liposomes, added to growth cones in culture and changes in morphology are then assessed.

Regulation of growth cone motility

Cell Motility, 1991
Nerve growth cones are the motile tips of elongating axons and dendrites. The migration and behavior of growth cones are responsible for axonal pathfinding to synaptic targets, and for the branching patterns of dendritic trees. Growth cones are studied at all levels of organization, molecular, cellular, and within intact embryos. Preparations of growth

Driving the Growth Cone

Science, 1998
Growth cones are the specialized tips of neuronal axons that make their way through the nervous system in search of a correct target. In his Perspective, Caroni outlines the signaling mechanisms that help steer the growth cone as it moves, and discusses a report by Song et al .

Neuronal growth cone migration

Experientia, 1990
The neuronal growth cone is a semi-autonomous portion of the developing neuron that is highly specialized for motile activity. Migrating neurons may share some features with neuronal growth cones. I review some of what has been learned about growth cone initiation, the differentiation of axons and dendrites, the role of the cytoskeleton in motility ...

Growth cone responses to growth and chemotropic factors

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2008
AbstractDuring nervous system development axons reach their target areas under the influence of numerous guidance cues that affect rate and direction of growth. This report addresses the unsettled question of whether and to what extent growth velocity and turning responses (attraction, repulsion) are interdependent.
