Growth cone dynamics during the migration of an identified commissural growth cone [PDF]
We have used time-lapse video microscopy to study the behavior of a neuron, Q1, that pioneers the posterior commissure of the embryonic grasshopper. Our goal is to use time-lapse video as a tool to acquire a precise picture of normal development over time, and thereby identify stereotypic activities that might indicate important interactions necessary ...

FLIM FRET Visualization of Cdc42 Activation by Netrin-1 in Embryonic Spinal Commissural Neuron Growth Cones. [PDF]
Netrin-1 is an essential extracellular chemoattractant that signals through its receptor DCC to guide commissural axon extension in the embryonic spinal cord.

Non-muscle myosin II regulates neuronal actin dynamics by interacting with guanine nucleotide exchange factors. [PDF]
Non-muscle myosin II (NM II) regulates a wide range of cellular functions, including neuronal differentiation, which requires precise spatio-temporal activation of Rho GTPases.

An Emerging Role of PRRT2 in Regulating Growth Cone Morphology
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,

Reproductive effort assessment for woody plants using Siberian spruce and Siberian fir [PDF]
The correlation between the yield of Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.) and Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) cones and radial wood increments was examined using long-term data (47 years) from direct observations.

Increase in Growth Cone Size Correlates with Decrease in Neurite Growth Rate
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.

Growth Factors as Axon Guidance Molecules: Lessons From in vitro Studies
Growth cones at the tips of extending axons navigate through developing organisms by probing extracellular cues, which guide them through intermediate steps and onto final synaptic target sites.
