Learning the Biochemical Basis of Axonal Guidance: Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model
Aim: Experimental models are a powerful aid in visualizing molecular phenomena. This work reports how the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) can be effectively explored for students to learn how molecular cues dramatically condition axonal guidance

The nonuniqueness of the tangent cones at infinity of Ricci-flat manifolds
It is shown by Colding and Minicozzi the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity of Ricci-flat manifolds with Euclidean volume growth which has at least one tangent cone at infinity with a smooth cross section.

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

Filopodial dynamics and growth cone stabilization in Drosophila visual circuit development
Filopodial dynamics are thought to control growth cone guidance, but the types and roles of growth cone dynamics underlying neural circuit assembly in a living brain are largely unknown.

Influence of umbrella pine (Pinus pinea L.) stand type and tree characteristics on cone production [PDF]
Most umbrella pine (Pinus pinea L.) stands are managed as agroforestry systems, whose main production is fruit, due to the edible and highly nutritious kernels, and are frequently associated to natural or seeded pastures and grazing.

Gradient-reading and mechano-effector machinery for netrin-1-induced axon guidance
Growth cones navigate axonal projection in response to guidance cues. However, it is unclear how they can decide the migratory direction by transducing the local spatial cues into protrusive forces.

Dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinases (DYRKs) are a group of conserved eukaryotic kinases phosphorylating tyrosine, serine, and threonine residues. The human DYRK family comprises 5 members (DYRK1A, DYRK1B, DYRK2, DYRK3, and DYRK4).

A conic manifold perspective of elliptic operators on graphs
We give a simple, explicit, sufficient condition for the existence of a sector of minimal growth for second order regular singular differential operators on graphs. We specifically consider operators with a singular potential of Coulomb type and base our

This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.
