β-catenin-α-catenin and actomyosin signaling differentially regulate growth cone contours and axon undulation and branching of retinal ganglion cells in situ [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceIntroductionCadherin adhesive and actomyosin signaling are key cytomechanical cues required for neuronal circuit formation, but whether they function together to sculpt developing neurons is not known. Previously, we demonstrated that a β-catenin mutant (

Varicones and growth cones: two neurite terminals in PC12 cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line is one of the traditional models for the study of neurite outgrowth and growth cone behavior. To clarify to what extent PC12 neurite terminals can be compared to neuronal growth cones, we have analyzed ...

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,

Increase in Growth Cone Size Correlates with Decrease in Neurite Growth Rate
Neural Plasticity, 2016 Several important discoveries in growth cone cell biology were made possible by the use of growth cones derived from cultured Aplysia bag cell neurons, including the characterization of the organization and dynamics of the cytoskeleton.
