Morphological identification and development of neurite in Drosophila ventral nerve cord neuropil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In Drosophila, ventral nerve cord (VNC) occupies most of the larval central nervous system (CNS). However, there is little literature elaborating upon the specific types and growth of neurites as defined by their structural appearance in Drosophila ...

The Combinatorics of Neurite Self-Avoidance [PDF]
Neural Computation, 2011 During neural development in Drosophila, the ability of neurite branches to recognize whether they are from the same or different neurons depends crucially on the molecule Dscam1. In particular, this recognition depends on the stochastic acquisition of a unique combination of Dscam1 isoforms out of a large set of possible isoforms.

Neurite Outgrowth: A Flick of the Wrist [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 A new study has shown that, near the tip of a growing axon, dephosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein Doublecortin is controlled by protein phosphatase 1 and its regulator spinophilin. This results in spatially regulated microtubule bundling within the axon and more efficient axon outgrowth.

A Method to Culture GABAergic Interneurons Derived from the Medial Ganglionic Eminence
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Understanding the mechanisms guiding interneuron development is a central aspect of the current research on cortical/hippocampal interneurons, which is highly relevant to brain function and pathology.

The role of TLR4 in the paclitaxel effects on neuronal growth in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Paclitaxel (Pac) is an antitumor agent that is widely used for treatment of solid cancers. While being effective as a chemotherapeutic agent, Pac in high doses is neurotoxic, specifically targeting sensory innervations.

The interplay between branching and pruning on neuronal target search during developmental growth: functional role and implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Regenerative strategies that facilitate the regrowth and reconnection of neurons are some of the most promising methods in spinal cord injury research. An essential part of these strategies is an increased understanding of the mechanisms by which growing

The cytoskeleton and neurite initiation [PDF]
BioArchitecture, 2013 Neurons begin their life as simple spheres, but can ultimately assume an elaborate morphology with numerous, highly arborized dendrites, and long axons. This is achieved via an astounding developmental progression which is dependent upon regulated assembly and dynamics of the cellular cytoskeleton.

Cryopreservation of Primary Mouse Neurons: The Benefit of Neurostore Cryoprotective Medium
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Primary neuronal culture from rodents is a well-established model to investigate cellular neurobiology in vitro. However, for this purpose cell cultures need to be generated expressly, requiring extensive animal handling.

Competitive dynamics during resource-driven neurite outgrowth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Neurons form networks by growing out neurites that synaptically connect to other neurons. During this process, neurites develop complex branched trees. Interestingly, the outgrowth of neurite branches is often accompanied by the simultaneous withdrawal ...
