The peripheral nervous system (PNS) of higher vertebrates is segmented to align the spinal nerve roots with the vertebrae. This co-patterning is set up during embryogenesis, when vertebrae develop from the sclerotome layer of the metameric somites, and ...

Neuropilin-2 promotes branching morphogenesis in the mouse mammary gland [PDF]
Although the neuropilins were characterized as semaphorin receptors that regulate axon guidance, they also function as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors and contribute to the development of other tissues. Here, we assessed the role of NRP2 in mouse mammary gland development based on our observation that NRP2 is expressed ...

Peripheral nerve regeneration is delayed in neuropilin 2–deficient mice [PDF]
AbstractPeripheral nerve transection or crush induces expression of class 3 semaphorins by epineurial and perineurial cells at the injury site and of the neuropilins neuropilin‐1 and neuropilin‐2 by Schwann and perineurial cells in the nerve segment distal to the injury.

Deletion of neuropilin 2 enhances detrusor contractility following bladder outlet obstruction.
Chronic urethral obstruction and the ensuing bladder wall remodeling can lead to diminished bladder smooth muscle (BSM) contractility and debilitating lower urinary tract symptoms.

Neuropilin-1 facilitates SARS-CoV-2 cell entry and infectivity [PDF]
The causative agent of coronavirus induced disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). For many viruses, tissue tropism is determined by the availability of virus receptors and entry cofactors on the ...

Dorsal turning of motor corticospinal axons at the pyramidal decussation requires plexin signaling
Background The development of the corticospinal tract (CST) in higher vertebrates relies on a series of axon guidance decisions along its long projection pathway.

Endogenous Engineering Reprograms Extracellular Vesicles for Enhanced Therapeutic Function
This review explains how Extracellular vesicles‐producing cells can be endogenously engineered to load therapeutic proteins and nucleic acids. We summarize physiological and genetic strategies that harness native sorting pathways for selective cargo loading.

Neovascularization in Pancreatic Cancer is Dependent on Neuropilin 2
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a high mortality rate due to lack of detection, tendency to metastasize to the liver, and the absence of effective treatments. Consequently, there is an urgent need to understand the biology of this devastating disease in order to develop drugs to inhibit PDAC progression.

The functions and applications of A7R in anti-angiogenic therapy, imaging and drug delivery systems
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) are two prominent antiangiogenic targets. They are highly expressed on vascular endothelial cells and some tumor cells.
