Semaphorin-7A diminishes HLF proliferation and migration.

open access: yes, 2017
HLF derived from non-fibrotic lungs were treated with either control or semaphorin-7A siRNA and cultured in 1% or 10% FBS for 48 h. A/ BrdU was incubated with cells for 6 h.

Wiring olfaction: the cellular and molecular mechanisms that guide the development of synaptic connections from the nose to the cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2009
Within the central nervous system, the olfactory system fascinates by its developmental and physiological particularities, and is one of the most studied models to understand the mechanisms underlying the guidance of growing axons to their appropriate ...

Semaphorins and their Signaling Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Semaphorins are extracellular signaling proteins that are essential for the development and maintenance of many organs and tissues. The more than 20-member semaphorin protein family includes secreted, transmembrane and cell surface-attached proteins with diverse structures, each characterized by a single cysteine-rich extracellular sema domain, the ...

Neuropilin-mediated neural crest cell guidance is essential to organise sensory neurons into segmented dorsal root ganglia

open access: yes, 2009
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 ...

Neurovascular coupling in bone regeneration: Mechanisms, advanced biomaterials and challenges

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This figure illustrates various material strategies for neurovascularized bone regeneration, including electroactive scaffolds, ion‐loaded materials, drug delivery systems, surface modifications, cells/cell products, growth factors, and peptides. These approaches aim to synergistically promote the regeneration of neural, vascular, and bone tissues ...

{alpha}2-Chimaerin, cyclin-dependent kinase 5/p35, and its target collapsin response mediator protein-2 are essential components in semaphorin 3A-induced growth-cone collapse

open access: yes, 2004
Neurite outgrowth is influenced by positive and negative signals that include the semaphorins, an important family of axonal outgrowth inhibitors. Here we report that the Rac GTPase activating protein (GAP){alpha}2-chimaerin is involved in Semaphorin 3A (

Making connections

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Deleting a gene called Sema5A, which has been linked to autism in humans, causes neurons to form more connections in mice, and also alters how these mutant mice interact with other mice.

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Semaphorin-7A reduces serum-induced ERK and p38 phosphorylation in HLF.

open access: yes, 2017
HLF derived from non-fibrotic lungs were treated with control-siRNA (Ctrl.) or semaphorin7A-siRNA (sema7A) for 24 h before starvation in BSA for 24 h. A/ Then cells were activated with 1% or 10% FBS for 15 min. ERK phosphorylation (P-ERK) was analyzed by

Glial and neuronal Semaphorin signaling instruct the development of a functional myotopic map for Drosophila walking

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Motoneurons developmentally acquire appropriate cellular architectures that ensure connections with postsynaptic muscles and presynaptic neurons. In Drosophila, leg motoneurons are organized as a myotopic map, where their dendritic domains represent the ...
