Growth cone-growth cone interactions in cultures of rat sympathetic neurons

Developmental Biology, 1989
Growth cones of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglia of neonatal rats were studied using video-microscopy to determine events following contact between growth cones and other cell surfaces, including other growth cones and neurites. A variety of behaviors were observed to occur upon contact between growth cones.

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 .

Growth Cone Collapse Assay [PDF]

open access: possible, 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.

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.

Vesicular movements in the growth cone

Neurochemistry International, 2018
Growth cones, which are the highly motile tips of extending neuronal processes in developing neurons, have many vesicles. These vesicles are likely essential for the membrane expansion that is required for nerve growth, and probably coordinate with rearrangement of the cytoskeletons.

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.

Microtubules and growth cone function

Journal of Neurobiology, 2003
AbstractIt has been recognized for a long time that the neuronal cytoskeleton plays an important part in neurite growth and growth cone pathfinding, the mechanism by which growing axons find an appropriate route through the developing embryo to their target cells.

Microtubule organization in growth cones

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1991
Neuronal growth cones guide growing axons and dendrites (neurites) through developing embryos by detecting extrinsic guidance cues and transducing the signal into changes in motile behavior. In this chapter, the role of the growth cone cytoskeleton in these events, in particular the microtubules, is discussed.

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.
